More ludites trying to shame actual science?
As someone with ADHD I will be the first to say that most doctors over prescribe medicine, and that most worth while doctors are very expensive and out of the average person's price range. They system is broken, and it is abused too easily. That being said, there is nothing inherently wrong with adhd medicines. We do actual have large bodies of peer reviewed research about these drugs. Under a good doctor's treatment, these drugs can really help people who are struggling with adhd.
