The Digital Dilemma: How to Navigate Internet Use with ADHD
One of the study's primary findings is the mediating role of psychological distress in the dynamic between Problematic Use of the Internet (PUI) and quality of life (QoL).

This insight sheds light on a critical aspect of digital well-being for those with ADHD: it's not just the amount of time spent online but how this engagement affects mental health that matters.
