When your feed starts diagnosing you, it’s time to ask: who’s really in charge of your attention?
From TikTok tips to “relatable” reels, everyone’s a little bit ADHD online. In this episode of Shrinks and Giggles, your favorite therapists dissect the rise of algorithmic diagnosis, dopamine loops, and the blurred line between real insight and digital noise.
We put the cynical in clinical, and separate the pop psych from the real stuff, talk Freudian influence and when to take your concerns to a professional...like one at Aspire Therapy! (*wink, wink*)
Subscribe and share with your friends to keep the giggles coming.
