I think there’s a lot of self-diagnosing happening because of TikTok and similar platforms. Many young people, and adults, too, use these platforms as their prime source of information, but these spaces lack fact-checking.

It’s not good.

Let’s be honest; there’s also an increasing incentive to find something that makes you stand out, preferably without having to do any work. Saying you have ADHD, whether fully true or not, adds a “little something” to your bio.
