I almost spit out my coffee when I saw this. The ADHD industrial complex steams on I guess. If doctors can "prescribe" video games, can prescribe time playing outside or away from technology? I suspect that doesn't get the user on a monthly subscription plan. Soon we'll have the government subsidizing video games in the name of "digital therapeutics". Nothing says mental well-being like playing video games.

I know this is for children, but anecdotally, the number of 30 somethings I know IRL who are now discovering they have "ADHD" is comically high. Social media has truly been a disaster for the human race.
