My pet theory is that everyone has ADD/ADHD at some level, particularly when tasked with something they do not like to do or want to do, and that the rise in ADD/ADHD is worsened by short-form content because it further reduces at

A close friend of mine is dealing with a variety of health issues due to heavy metal poisoning from their tattoos. Personally, I have never seen a case where tattoos improved someone's health, or appearance for that matter.
