I don't think it's a "big pharma conspiracy" that a lot of kids have been over-diagnosed with ADHD and are being given stimulants. Have you seen the documentary? It's about an epidemic of Adderall and Ritalin abuse, right on par with the opioid crisis, but not as talked about because people aren't dropping dead from it.

I haven't thrown out the whole medical profession or said anything about not seeing a Dr. I just don't buy that all these kids have a disorder, there's even a new one called ODD Oppositional Defiance Disorder. Maybe some of them do, but I still don't think it's right to give them these drugs. I mean what did people do in past generations?

Most of the documentary is about adults who take stimulants and how it makes them feel like they are performing better and that it adds to what they have to offer.
