ADHD & Digital Addiction

Doomscrolling, Phone Compulsion & the Dopamine Trap

By: Hannah Reeves

Narrated by: Elizabeth Turner

Why can't you just put your phone down? It's not a discipline problem. It's not a motivation problem. And it's definitely not because you "lack willpower."

If you have ADHD, your brain is wired differently—and your phone was designed to exploit it.

In ADHD & Digital Addiction, Dr Hannah Reeves pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked modern struggles: the collision between the dopamine-hungry ADHD brain and the most sophisticated attention-hijacking technology ever created.

This is not another generic "reduce your screen time" book. And it's not going to tell you to delete your apps and disappear into the woods.

Instead, it gives you something far more useful: an explanation that actually fits your brain—and strategies that finally work with it, not against it.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

• Why the ADHD brain is neurologically wired to crave stimulation—and why your phone delivers it perfectly
• How social media platforms are engineered to keep you scrolling, tapping, and coming back for more
• The real reason doom scrolling, TikTok hyperfocus, and compulsive checking feel impossible to stop
• How digital habits quietly rewire your attention, sleep, mood, and relationships
• Why traditional productivity advice fails for ADHD—and what to do instead
• A practical, ADHD-specific system to break the cycle without relying on willpower

This book is for you if:

• You lose hours on your phone and don't know where the time went
• You've tried to cut back but always fall into the same patterns
• You feel mentally exhausted but still can't stop scrolling
• Your focus, sleep, or relationships are starting to take the hit
• You want control back—but in a way that actually works for your brain
