Ah yes, because it's totally impossible that medication can help people with ADHD cope with a world that was set up for them to fail.

That's not what i said. I'm fully aware ADHD meds allows some people to simply function, even regardless of the environment.

That being said, it'd be naive to think pharma companies aren't bribing psychiatrists on a daily basis. Medicalizing neurodivergence is problematic in its own right.

Come on buddy we're all friends here, don't sarcasm me, please :)

Then think about what you're saying. If you actually believe that medication can be helpful, but then you go around saying things that can be easily misconstrued as "Half of them will ignore you, and the other half are shills for big pharma you shouldn't trust them," how can those two things coexist? How can you not see that those words are going to lead to people just deciding against even attempting to get on medication even if they might be among the group that it helps to not suffer in a society built around the convenience and function of neurotypicals?

Maybe we could give benzos for free so the woman can bare sexism.

So you don't actually believe that medication can help people with ADHD at all, got it. There's no other reason for you to make a disingenuous comparison like that. You can just say it, you aren't going to hurt my feelings hon.

Unlike you, i'm not trying to hurt anybody's feeling. You deeply hurt mine though, and you clearly don't care. I tried to be nice to you and you kept being hurtful.

You're just a mean person buddy. Nothing to do with pills or mental disease.

Did that occur to you that medication isn't for everybody? I've been prescribed pills and I felt terrible.

There's nothing to be misconstructed. https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/193nmt1/142_million_in_undisclosed_conflicts_of_interest/

It's the truth.

There's a difference between "it's not for everybody," and "half of them can't be trusted and the other half won't believe you."
