Are rising ADHD diagnoses caused by genetics or by our modern environment? This clip explores how dopamine, attention, and lifestyle interact in today’s overstimulated world.This discussion focuses on whether ADHD stems from inherited traits or if modern habits, like constant phone use, social media, and quick dopamine hit , are influencing attention and focus. Sarah shares her own recent ADHD diagnosis and reflects on how evolutionary factors may have once made these traits beneficial for survival. The conversation also delves into dopamine regulation, the challenges of deep work in a distraction-filled environment, and the importance of self-awareness in managing focus and energy levels.
