One of them is the increased number of people caring for mental status, but the other one is, we are living in an era that requires long hours of computer usage which is against the living way of an ADHD person. We need to walk, go out, spend energy, but nowadays we have to stay in an office, look at a screen, which is so boring.
The ironic part is that a lot of the people who are being diagnosed today are the ones who don’t have hyperactive bodies, but hyperactive minds. So those who CAN sit in front of a computer for hours and hours without making a peep, but can’t finish a project or do chores or meet on time or follow a conversation etc.
These people used to slip through the cracks because no one noticed that they spent all their day daydreaming instead of paying attention in class.
