Just something I have anecdotally noticed occuring with more frequency. Several creators I follow have spoken about being diagnosed with ADHD in recent years, and their experiences with medication like adderall. When I was a kid, ADHD was something only kids had, and was famously overdiagnosed in America as an excuse to get a ton of kids on pills.
Is this just a more recent extension of that? Is it just as simple as big pharma looking for more addicts? I have definitely noticed that my own attention span has been eroded by the 24 hour news cycle and too much screen time, but I'd never think to go to the doctor about it.
We had close to a century of Psychology research saying "in person is the only way, you miss 75% of all information by removing non-verbal cues and in person observation" to refuse to do more than very basic out of person set ups.
Then Covid hits and magically BetterHelp has all its controversies forgotten, has millions to buy ads on literally every podcast in America, and now everyone is totes cool with having a therapist that is text only.
Psychology has morphed into a feminist control vector. The goal is to emasculate as many men as possible while validating every terrible female behavior.
The opposite of going to a psychologist is going to the gym.
With the added caveat, that not all gyms are healthy environments or have the room. Make sure not to get suckered into any long-term commitments.
