A new study has found a link between addictive social media use and ADHD symptoms in boys. The study suggests that heavy social media use may be associated with worsening ADHD symptoms, although the underlying cognitive deficits of ADHD do not explain this link. Other related research explores the connections between screen use, mental health, and addictive behaviors, but the specific relationship between social media use and ADHD symptoms in boys is the primary focus of the new study.
