Genes and screens: attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in the digital age
This editorial examines the rise of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the digital age, suggesting that excessive digital media use may mimic or exacerbate ADHD symptoms. We propose examining ADHD through the lens of a spectrum condition, highlighting the importance of considering both genetic and environmental factors in its diagnosis and treatment.
