This Mimics ADHD Symptoms

Dr. Dave Raben, psychiatrist and neuroscientist, teaches us that our automatic nervous system has two main states. So you have the sympathetic, which is the fight or flight or freeze. So think about that saber-toothed tiger that might be chasing you back in the day. It's that fight or flight, how do I react stress state, which we need at times, but not all the time. And that's where chronic stress comes in and all the health implications that that has. And the other state is the parasympathetic, rest, digest, and recover state. Chronic stress, like from emails, social media, trauma, keeps us in survival mode, and it drains our energy and attention. What Dave says is chronic stress hijacks the nervous system and can mimic ADHD.
