While I don't deny existence of mental challenges like ADHD, anxiety/depression, IMHO these conditions are overdiagnosed and overprescribed by medical establishment.

I'm a bit neurodivergent myself, although it comes with advantages, it also comes with things that make other parts of life harder. Humans are humans at the end -- not a DSM-5 citation.

But modern media is somewhat designed to be addictive to generate ads and revenue -- endless content and scrolling, links...Im referring to news sites but social media is way way worse...

Acceptance is good advise -- I think each person is capable of adapting and learning to function on a high-level.
