Russell Barkley, the worlds leading expert on ADHD (as far as I can tell) has a video where he shows that this is not likely to be true.
Rather, the continued presence of ADHD in our gene pool has to do with how many factors genetic factors can cause it, and basically the mutation rate causing ADHD is now balanced with the rate that we die off without reproducing.
Do you have a link?
Lol, I responded to your message, and then went to look for the links to add. But my meds hadn't kicked in yet, and I got distracted.
These 2 videos are him discussing this topic, be warned, they're 20 and 15 minutes.
Personally I find his delivery and information engaging enough to watch, but only somtimes.
I saw a notification and read half your comment, but then you deleted it.
Did you end up watching the vid and changing your mind? It’s been a minute since I watched it, and also only caught part of your comment, so I don’t know if your concerns were addressed.
