Can porn and masturbation for 6-7 years cause ADHD symptoms?

I am 18 years old, I have been addicted since I was 11-12 and I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. Can my addiction cause these symptoms such as rapid fatigue, inability to concentrate at all, etc.

Yeah absolutely. ADHD and addiction both have to do with your dopamine receptors. It’s why when you watch porn for so many years, eventually you need crazier more f’d up stuff to look at. You get so desensitized to just normal sex. An adhd is the same. I have it and I constantly need some sort of stimulation to stay satisfied. And it eventually gets to the point where nothing does it for me.

It’s definitely been happening to me I feel like. But I will say the days I don’t do this I feel a bit better and I don’t have as bad of a brain fog
