This diagnosis, right?

So this is not, we don't know what, you know, but like, like, cause when I hear this symptom cluster, I do not think ADHD.

What I think of is a particular diagnosis where there's a lot of TikToks about ADHD and

yes yeah and then they're okay so do you want to play this game or no yeah yeah yeah i'm ready okay you got it okay one yeah two three bpd or i was gonna say porterland personality disorder yeah you see what i did there i jumped ahead right this yeah yeah i love it this sounds like bpd

Yeah.

So, so I think it's, it's great that we, I feel better that you, we came to the same conclusion.

How do you think it is that someone who, so, cause so many people will experience things like this and they'll think, okay, I have ADHD.

These are ADHD symptoms.

How do you think this happens?

How is it that someone describes a lot of BPD symptoms and ends up thinking they have ADHD?

Like, how do we get here?

What is going on with this?

Yeah, so that's so, I completely agree.

I think what the internet has a lot of access to good diagnostic information, but what no one on the internet does is a differential diagnosis.

I have literally never seen a single TikTok where someone discusses the concept of a differential.

Right.

And for people who aren't familiar with this, what we're trained to do is, okay, you check those boxes, right?

There's a good chance you have the flu, but there's also a chance that you have an immunodeficiency.

There's also a chance that you have cancer.

There's also a chance that you have an autoimmune disease like lupus, right?
