In the past, the scientific community believed that the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children would disappear with age, but this notion has been completely disproved. Surprisingly, smartphones may be unknowingly making adults suffer from ADHD. While ADHD usually originates in children under the age of 12, it now appears that smartphones have also caused adults to develop related symptoms.
It is worth mentioning that the symptoms in adults are different from those in children, and adults may have many symptoms such as anger management problems, excessive irritability, low self-esteem, relationship disorders, poor time management, etc. Having said that, the prevalence of ADHD in adults in 2020 was about 63 per cent, compared to 4 in 20034%, a significant increase.
According to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the use of numbers** may actually increase the likelihood of an ADHD diagnosis by up to 10%. What's more, modern people often need to multitask at the same time, which can be one of the hazards, as the situation can distract their attention in too many different directions.
There is now a large body of clinical evidence pointing to the reality that overuse of technology may lead to the development of ADHD symptoms later in life. Of course, these symptoms can also be caused by hormonal changes or various other unrelated factors, but we can't ignore the correlation between ADHD and digital** use, as well as smartphone use. The results of the study point to facts that are extremely relevant to modern life, and the future development is interesting.
