If people were given the known "facts" about ADHD and the drugs which are used to treat it, I would have very little problems with it. I actually say: Let people use whatever they want to themselves, if they use it without inflicting pain or suffering on somebody else. I'm no anti-drug advocate.

But today, ADHD is portrayed as a real disease, much like cancer or malaria. Which in turn comes with medicines like Adderall that is said to treat it. But ADHD is nothing factual like Cancer or Malaria, it cant be compared to real diseases. There isn't a doctor in the world that can point to where "ADHD" is suppose to be in the brain. There's nothing to look at or measure. It's a fictional disease. This information needs to be given to all parents which at this time are sitting in front of a psychiatrist who is giving out dangerous drugs while only attesting to their positive values and merits.
