Comment on Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game?

  We’re just calling everything ADHD now

    We might as well change the baseline for ADHD since technology has hammered everyone’s dopamine receptors

    Just because a sizable part of the population has it, doesn’t make it any less legitimate

    pretty much.

    people who have it seem to be convinced everyone else has it. it’s a cognitive bias.

  How fix. If this is so much effort, imagine the effort for actually solving the problem

    It’s kind of a running joke that if you can get yourself through the diagnosis gauntlet

    • sorting it with insurance
    • finding a provider
    • waiting the months for the appointment
    • dealing with insurance
    • then doing it all over again for the psychiatrist to actually get the prescription
    • and then again for the therapist (to wrangle the realization that your entire life is ADHD lol)

    is something only a non-ADHDer can manage. Get someone close to you on board who can help keep you accountable, and run the gauntlet mate. Check out !adhd@lemmy.world.
