don’t have a clinical opinion with adhd as its not a specialism and nearly everything human is gene-gene or gene-environment
it seems prescribing children is one bug bear for some ie consent, or identifying the subtleties of the human condition, or someone for whom the defining principles ring true - you just have to try to listen first and foremost and work your way out

Once a prescription supply chain is industrially established, profiteering follows - medicalisation as symptom of capital
The US has a lot to answer for, ie how ignorant and lazy western societies behave raising their children: stfu, eat your Ritalin AND fuck off (please)
Striatal dopamine release disruption is getting worse from a shifting technological pov - old reptile brain. Such systems don’t feedback into the tech sphere by chance so there’s a societal model which isn’t fully developed enough to gauge in its entirely yet due accelerating learning but, intuitively, we knew smartphones were evil way before data privacy lols were foregrounded

The part where he said "it doesn't actually exist"?
Next, my teacher from elementary school "advanced" class is going to start saying again that I'm just not trying hard enough.
Also, do people understand that there are different types of ADHD, especially since ADD was folded under ADHD?

Equally, how can you deny someone’s personal truth? Subjectivity as subject. If ADHD becomes a culture war front, nothing will be advanced for anyone because no-one is paying any attention to the suffering of those who need to be heard
Concurrently, we live in an age where people are actively consuming compounds specifically designed around dopamine manipulation eg SBF
Look how poorly we still understand disease. I would never write off genetic factors as that’s still poorly applied to mental health - your cognitive inheritance as an accumulation derived from huge numbers of populations with their own root genetic selection factors that have nothing in common with today’s world

Look, my view is this
A lot—not all—but a majority—of what we label and medicalized as ADHD in the United States is not really a disability
But refers to a semi-voluntary strategy or stance
An individual positions himself on a spectrum between a vigilant and laissez-faire attitude. On a spectrum of self-coercion and freedom, anxiety and nonchalance
Keeping track of keys, or jackets, or calendar dates—that's not 'free' for anyone
It's always costly, it always takes effort
Managing the massive array of material goods and scheduling obligations that modern man has to manage is not natural, it does not come naturally, it is always hard it is always work
And some people pay that cost, and some people aren't willing to

Some people have algorithms, voices looping through their head, voices of pain and worry that cry out "Don't forget," "Don't drift off," "Don't daydream," "Pay attention," "Check your pockets," "What are you forgetting?" "What do you need to attend to?" "What's about to go wrong?"
And some people don't. A lot of it is learnable and about self-discipline. And if you don't want to make the enormous sacrifices of self, of happiness, of sanity. If you don't want to give your freedom over to the grinding machine of society. Then maybe you don't win all the gold stars. Maybe you don't win any. Maybe society puts a stamp on you that says you're being a bad cog.
