ADHD and Toxic Relationships: A Growing Concern Germany - A recent video uploaded by a social media user, who identifies as having ADHD, has sparked discussion about the link between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and the tendency to form toxic relationships. The video, which has garnered significant views and likes in a short period, highlights the experiences of someone with ADHD navigating the complexities of relationships.
