ADHD is in part an adaptation to being bombarded with information in the Internet era.

I'm sure it's a legitimate disorder in the most severe cases as well, but like most psych quackery, there are way too many doctors and patients (80%+) too eager to self-diagnose and put people on a prescription and call it a day.

Doctors get money from pharma and people get to use their "disorder" as a convenient excuse for everything. That's what we call incentive alignment in economics.

How is it an adaptation? My understanding is that the internet era disrupts ADHD people the most.
