It’s fun to think about adhd re:tech, but a less fun hypothesis is that it’s something biological not yet identified.

Gov should do an annual sample computer-scored interactive test on 1000 5-year-olds to see adhd truly is increasing irrespective of increasing diagnostic criteria.



Some has already be done, in 2012 I think a team from harvard found biological markers which were identicals in patients suffering from autism/bipolar disorder/schyzophrenia and adhd and since adhd is a group of symptoms which can be caused by every "real" disorded listed above we found the biological something you mention.


Do you perhaps still have this study around? I searched but could not find it and It sounds quite interesting to me.


It was referenced in the book "ADHD does not exist" from Richard Saul M.D, I'll look for the book to find some links
