The Atlantic has an interesting article about Adderall and ADD/ADHD in which it reveals that the medical community failed to even recognize adult ADD or take it seriously as a disease until 20 years ago, if that. And of course Adderall may be over prescribed today as a result, or is it? After all, amphetamine is a recognized human performance drug with some well known side effects, why shouldn't people be using it whether or not they have ADD?
As the article makes clear, the medical community is guilty of gross malfeasance in this area, and I think it is very reasonable to resent being required to go to these wankers as one gateway of many to get the most important known medication available for this disease/syndrome/whatever.
