The study found that those who spent more time chatting with a chatbot experienced higher levels of loneliness, dependence, and problematic use, as well as lower socialization. However, researchers measured these effects by controlling for fluctuations in participants' feelings of loneliness and actual social interaction. The study also showed that the tone of the chatbot's interactions played a significant role in this effect, with more neutral interactions exacerbating loneliness. While the study does not recommend banning AI tools at work, it highlights the need to consider the potential impact on employees' mental health.

Dr. Eric Arzubi notes that girls are often misdiagnosed at a higher rate than boys, particularly in childhood and teenage years, due to differences in symptoms such as hyperactivity and impulsivity. According to the nonprofit organization CHADD, girls with ADHD tend to present more with inattentiveness, including difficulty paying attention, disliking tasks that require mental effort, and being easily distracted. The ratio of boys to girls diagnosed with ADHD before age 18 is 3:1, while it's nearly equal in adulthood, suggesting underdiagnosis among adolescent girls.
