One of them is the increased number of people caring for mental status, but the other one is, we are living in an era that requires long hours of computer usage which is against the living way of an ADHD person. We need to walk, go out, spend energy, but nowadays we have to stay in an office, look at a screen, which is so boring.

This sounds like me. Last book I read was in the aughts the last wheel of time written by jordan that I borrowed from a friend. I hate smartphones so I was still mostly doing suduko from the free papers on the train into the teens but those all went bust. Was combining tablet use with deep breathing exersises on the train until covid when I stopped commuting.
