ADHD Problem of the Week: “I can't stop scrolling on social media!"
Why It Matters:
⌛️ We can use the time we take back from endless scrolling to work on fulfilling personal or creative projects!
🧠 Jumping from one IG reel, TikTok, or YouTube short to another has been proven to lower the brain's attention span, something many of us already struggle with.
💪 Spending time away from the constant barrage of ‘perfect’ people and lifestyles on social media can help us re-regulate our emotions and self esteem!
