Yes, ADHD diagnoses are rising, but that doesn’t mean it’s overdiagnosed
ADHD symptoms occur on a continuum and can fluctuate dramatically based on life circumstances such as transitions to middle school, stress levels and even sleep.

Not every platform is for everyone.

But nearly everyone who I've seen say "my Bluesky feed is empty" is someone who doesn't follow enough people.

And nearly everyone who I've seen say "there's no engagement here" doesn't post anything or join discussions, and therefore doesn't have any followers.

EDITORIAL | Nutritional advice on social media: clicks over credibility

Social media based nutritional misinformation can lead to poorly managed health conditions. Experts need to adapt and engage effectively to counteract this trend. 🧪

Nutritional advice on social media: clicks over credibility - Nature Metabolism
Social media has become a go-to source for nutritional advice, and a space in which influencers compete with, and often drown out, evidence-based guidance. The scientific community should counter this viral spread of misinformation by making trustworthy information more accessible.
