    One should be careful with vibe-written / vibe-aided articles here. Who knows what is actually supported vs what sounded okay and the author (who is not a clinician) then signed off on.

    Even the core idea, 'rejection sensitivity' is acknowledged not to be a diagnostic entity: so then how can we make definitive comparisons? Maybe clinical gestalt... but the author is not trained to see and evalaute patients.

      Rejection sensitivity dysphoria is an acknowledged trait of ADHD.

        That doesn't invalidate the parent's point. We can still question if the details and way it is presented is accurate.

          I should've been clearer, I was replying to the "so then how can we make definitive comparisons" point.
