Yeah. So that's actually brilliant. Right. So I think that's where like we found the same thing is that people really resonate in a positive way and that these tools can be used for good or evil. They can use to help or hurt. And humanizing successful people is one of the best things you can do on social media. to recognize that even though this person is very successful, they struggle, right?

Because there's this fundamental idea that these people who are successful are fundamentally different from me. And reducing that gap can be very healthy for people. It's a strong work, man.

Yeah, so sure. There's a really fascinating study that looked at comorbid populations of ADHD and depression. So these are people who have both diagnoses. And then they went back and they asked which diagnosis came first. So 3% of people who were diagnosed with a mood disorder, like major depressive disorder,

When they were diagnosed, let's say, as a teenager with a mood disorder, 3% of them when they're 25 will grow up to have ADHD. Wow. 70% of people who get diagnosed with ADHD will grow up to have depression. But this is out of a comorbid population. So it's not that 70% of people with ADHD are depressed, but this is a study that looks at what comes first.

And for the vast majority of people, ADHD comes first. Once you work with ADHD people or if you have ADHD, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Because our current society is not designed to support people with ADHD. So what these people grow up with is all kinds of challenges that we don't really think of as consequences of ADHD.

The first of which is by the second grade, a large percentage of kids with ADHD get invited to zero birthday parties. Really? That's terrible. It's awful. So when you're a first grader, what happens? Like you don't wait for your turn in line. You cut. Oh, man, the dopamine rush of going down the slide was so fun. You can't think about anything else. You're running back in.

You push another kid out of the way and then you go. You don't wait your turn. You don't play with other kids in a nice way. You're not attuned to them in a good way. Right. So there's like a lot of social isolation that comes with ADHD.

That's just one example. The second thing is that kids are really good at judging IQ. Like, it's amazing. So we're really good at recognizing, like, stupid people and smart people. Okay. So this is paradoxically really damaging for an ADHD kid because an ADHD kid knows that they're not stupid. Like, I know that I'm just about as smart as all of my friends. But I cannot achieve what they achieve.
