I've personally been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD since I was a child and unless I stick with medication, it has negatively impacted my life since. I feel like with the modern advancements in technology, many people get into the habit of ""doom scrolling" when even just the slightest thing doesn't catch/hold their attention for even 15 seconds (like a slow scene at the start of a great movie) leading to the whole "second screen viewing" phenomenon that has negatively impacted the quality of many art forms IMO.

I also feel like if, not all, but many people were to do a dopamine cleanse from external stimuli, a lot of these symptoms from habitually engaging in these behaviours rather than fully focusing on what's happening at hand would clear themselves up without the whole ordeal of being diagnosed with ADHD and being prescribed something like stimulants while also maybe not even abstaining or trying to abstain from things like "doom scrolling" which leads to a viciously worsening cycle.

I can definitely relate…
