Late night pondering 💭

In my work, I’ve noticed a rapidly growing demand for psychological diagnoses — especially neurodevelopmental conditions.

It’s hard to know how much of this is thanks to a welcome rise in awareness and acceptance of mental well-being, and how much might be influenced by the demands of modern life — constant stimuli, relentless change, immediate digital distractions, and a pace that rarely lets us catch our breath.

Children who move at a different rhythm are quickly labelled as “too much” or “hard to handle”.

Perhaps now more adults, too, are seeking diagnoses as a way to make sense of why they struggle in a system that asks more than it should.
