Is your phone a lifeline, a trap - or maybe both - if you have ADHD?

This week, Sam and Katie are joined by clinical psychologist, ADHD advocate and writer Dr Gilly Kahn to explore the complex relationship between ADHD, screen time and social media. From dopamine dips and impulsive scrolling to the guilt that comes after a binge-watch spiral, they dig into why tech can feel both essential and overwhelming for neurodivergent minds.

Together, they unpack how screens affect focus, sleep and self-esteem and why so many people with ADHD struggle to set boundaries around devices. Gilly shares her own story of taking a seven-year break from social media, offers science-backed insights on behavioural addiction, and gives practical strategies to help you use your phone with intention (instead of it using you).

Whether you're constantly doom-scrolling or just curious about why logging off feels so hard, this episode is full of clarity, compassion and helpful tools.

New episodes of You're Wrong About ADHD are available every Wednesday and Friday. Got a question or story for the team? Send it to [email protected]
