@timonsku Huh, fascinating!
@TheActualBrian @realTuckFrumper On the contrary; you said more than enough to reveal a lot about your understanding of ADHD.
Anyway, here are some random resources if you're interested:

Plenty of fruit, in fact! Lots to learn about, and it is being intensively studied. Enough to dedicate your whole life to if you were so inclined 😀
Neurobiology of ADHD: A Review - Current Developmental Disorders Reports
Purpose of Review ADHD is a complex neuropsychiatric condition which has been known to cause a lot of changes in the structural and functional aspects as well as neurochemistry of the brain. Recent Findings The structural aspects include changes primarily affecting but not limited to the prefrontal cortex, corpus striatum, and cerebellum. Dopamine and norepinephrine are the key neurotransmitters that are implicated in the pathophysiology of this condition. The above-mentioned neurotransmitter transporters and alterations or mutations to their genes have also been known to be a common finding in patients with ADHD. Summary This review article summarizes the intertwined relationship between different parts of the brain in patients with ADHD along with neurochemical and genetic basis of this disease. Larger studies should be conducted to have a better and definitive understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease.
@TheActualBrian @realTuckFrumper The effect is that people who actually do suffer from ADHD are stigmatized and are told things like that they have to just get disciplined, or that they just have to plan things, or manage time, or just shouldn't be so emotional, should just stop being addicted, while at the same time being denied the meds that would actually help them do that in the first place because the people most vocal about it basically know next to nothing about the whole thing.
@TheActualBrian @realTuckFrumper
Correct, you linked it, but everything you said complies with the study and common misconceptions about what ADHD is and how the meds work.
There's always some truth to things like these. Yes, there are more diagnoses, but that is also to be expected seeing how poorly understood it used to be. Then there are the people who use meds wrong to sedate kids, or students who want more focus (doesn't work) which basically just contaminate the statistics with noise.

Dang. I don't know if reading that makes me feel good, nostalgic or old 😂 Maybe all three of them!

Indeed. I'm still learning, though. My feeds are currently like a ghosttown, mostly because I find it kind of difficult to find content I like. But I'll get there.

Yeah, and I also think it's important to remember that the benefit of being federated is that the views of the developer don't have to match the views of the instance hoster. For now I'm pretty happy with Lemmy though!
I definitely feel that. With that also comes a bit of awkwardness where sometimes there's just nothing for me to see and I just close it again. I'm so used to algorithms feeding me stuff to keep me engaged that I've forgotten what it's like to pick and choose my own content, ha!
It does feel refreshing. Kind of like a "dopamine detox" and in general a less excited experience. In a good way!
@Drunemeton @Pixlbabble Mostly just stuff on how it's not really private, but I'm of the mind that once something's on the internet (especially on social media) you've already thrown complete privacy out the window.
Also some weird stuff about the authors, but that's just something I saw other people say and I'm not comfortable simply parrotting.
Also the dev team is tiny (two people I think?). I hope it'll expand a little more soon - it's probably necessary with the user influx.
