Abstract
BackgroundAround 5.29% of the world population is suffering from ADHD, and 60 million people are suffering from CVS, with an increasing rate of prevalence of these disorders. This study aimed to determine the prevalence rate of ADHD and CVS symptoms among the Bangladeshi population.ResultsTo assess the aim of the study, a cross-sectional survey was conducted online through stratified sampling, and 197 responses were collected from the participants. Our survey method follows these criteria where the ARSV1.1 standard questionnaire was followed for the ADHD questionnaire, and a self-administered questionnaire was established based on the symptoms of CVS. The male age ranges from 18–24 have the highest value of ADHD (34%) coincided with > 6 h digital device usage (51%), and the Stroop effect is significantly correlated with the ADHD score (0.498, p < 0.01). The Stroop effect value is also higher among the males aged 18–24, digital device users for > 6 h (48%).ConclusionsWith the advent of science, it is impossible to avoid digital devices as necessary. Notwithstanding, safe and appropriate use of digital media is a must for healthy living.

Summary
Around 5.29% of the world population is suffering from ADHD, and 60 million people are suffering from CVS, with an increasing rate of prevalence of these disorders. This study aimed to determine the prevalence rate of ADHD and CVS symptoms among the Bangladeshi population. Electronic devices are used more widely in modern times and have become an indispensable part of life. People from all age groups use computers and other technologies more than ever for their professional and personal lives. The constant technology use can decline brain function and deviation in dayto-day life behavior, as evidenced by the emerging data [4]. The expanding network of technology has drawn the neuroscientists’ attention to the burning question of how digital technology may change our brains and behavior. In the positive sense, the older individuals having cognitive disintegration over time could use the technology to help them remain independent longer; many seniors with cognitive affliction are unable to adopt new technologies and pass through numerous anomalies [4]
