It feels like every second person I meet these days is diagnosed with ADHD or reckons they have ADHD, at what point does it stop even being considered a disorder?
I often have the “ADHD memes” subreddit recommended to me, and I find all the memes there extremely relatable, but I can’t shake the feeling that they’re universally relatable to most people. It seems that every symptom imaginable is an ADHD symptom now, I’ve seen people say that disturbing intrusive thoughts, extreme mood swings and feeling so overwhelmed you can’t get out of bed are all signs you have ADHD. No that to me sounds like OCD or Depression or Bipolar to me. It seems like everything is just “ADHD”.
I have a couple of mental disorders diagnosed, OCD and Bipolar, and whenever I see memes or discussions about these disorders I find them extremely relatable, but people without the disorders can’t relate at all, in the same way I can’t relate when I see memes and discussions about Autism spectrum or psychotic disorders. I feel like ADHD is much too broad. Thoughts?
