Study links problematic social media use to later ADHD symptoms in teens
Key Takeaways
- A five-year study of more than 11,000 adolescents found problematic social media use predicted slightly higher ADHD symptoms a year later.
- The reverse relationship, where ADHD symptoms predicted later social media problems, was weaker and less consistent.
- Researchers found the social-media-to-ADHD pattern was stronger in boys, while girls with ADHD symptoms appeared to struggle more with social media.
