Interesting that ADHD skepticism is a guaranteed recipe for a downvote.



It definitely is. I was hoping to have an open discussion rather than being downvoted to oblivion.

What I'm observing is: there is a sudden rise in adult ADHD diagnoses. Big pharma is pushing marketing around ADHD, there are viral themes on TikTok etc. about ADHD, and you have the rise of subscription services like donefirst.com. Social media sites are being flooded with posts exactly like this one. What is going on exactly?

Maybe there really is a large number of undiagnosed ADHD cases that are only now getting diagnosed, as people are being made aware of the symptoms? Are there really people, aka "normies", who don't procrastinate, and can just sit for 8 hours doing intense knowledge work without any kind of stimulant?
