I've always said _maybe_ there's an issue with over-diagnosing ADHD and over-prescribing & abusing ADHD meds in the US, but it really does not mean that's the case in all other countries as well.
I feel it gives ADHD a bad rep and adds to the stigma worldwide

Oh and it’s also Americans projecting assumptions onto every other country and us taking it as gospel, because narrow studies of particular demographics there are laughable to apply to e.g. Ireland. Do you think they have the resources to ‘overdiagnose’ anything in Dublin lol
Bad science underpins much of the decisions around care for patients with chronic conditions.

It's #WorldSarcDay!
I have #CardiacSarcoidosis. There's inflammation in my heart, lungs and lymph nodes, resulting in problems with the electric functions of the heart. This led to life-threatening arrhythmias.
I'm fortunate to be here -Please take heart symptoms seriously 💓 https://twitter.com/Finnattentive/status/1359439901666775043
Raising #HeartHealth awareness.
I only had some light dizziness and heart palpitations. But early Dec I got unconscious five times due to severe fits of #VentricularTachycardia.
I was diagnosed with #CardiacSarcoidosis and fitted a pacemaker.
Please don't ignore the symptoms.
