Common ADHD symptoms can make a patient more likely to develop problematic social media use that interfere with their daily lives.
Of the 3.1 billion social media users worldwide, 210 million suffer from problematic social media use.
Problematic social media use is characterized by feelings of anxiety, uncontrollable urges to check notifications immediately, dependence on likes and comments, and centering one’s day around social media.
The harmful effects of social media use include increased anxiety, depression, poor concentration, impaired academic and work performance, disrupted sleep, and decreased overall satisfaction with life.
Preventive measures like digital detoxes and reducing social media usage can be effective in curbing addiction habits.
Our ADHD Assessment screens for problematic social media use according to the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, a six-item, self-report scale that measures dependence on social media. The results of that screening are included in the final report so that the patient can discuss the best possible treatment options with their clinician.
