"everything is adhd" yawn

[–] moog@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I swear everyone I know is talking about their ADHD non-stop. Only one person I know actually strikes me as having ADHD.

So totally hear you but some stats to add perspective (all from wiki):

~2% of the world has red hair
~2% of American's identify as homosexual
~5% of American's are suspected to have ADHD with 90% of them undiagnosed

So if this is accurate then that means roughly one out of every twenty people you walk by on the street has ADHD. Do people over use the term? Yes. Do most people underestimate how frequent it is? Also yes.

Further consider what happens when you give a people who are by definition poorly equiped to restrain themselves social media access and a relatable or spicy topic :p

Sincerely someone recently diagnosed

No one on the street claims every 'kooky thing' they do is adhd. It's an internet thing.

I enjoy some of the memes but it's clear it's just another self diagnosed "omg i got ocd, im so quirky" fad. being pumped full of ritalin during a developmental phase or at any point is not as fun as it's made out to be

You're the first one to bring it up here.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do you mean other than OP with thier title? Then yeah I suppose you're almost correct...

[–] mdurell@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fair... I somehow overlooked that. My apologies.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No worries. Appreciate you being honest. People take things far too seriously on the net

[–] mdurell@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago
