Same reason anything takes off in the west. There is money to be made by treating adhd. The more people diagnosed the more money can be made. Most doctors won’t advise that the medications they prescribe haven’t been around long enough to do long term studies on them.
Y’all can roll the dice if you like, I really hope some of you luck out and find benefit.
Just don’t participate in an ADHD support community if you don’t want to be supportive, eh? The block community button is probably at the top of your page/app somewhere, so you never need to see it again.
Not meant to be antisocial; it just seems strange to participate in a community in an adversarial manner. It implies this might not be a good fit for you.
On the other hand, there are non-pharmaceutical interventions that work, and maybe that’s why you’re here. I wouldn’t flag your account to be reviewed by a mod to be banned—disagreement can contribute to a discussion, although ideally it would be grounded in accurate claims.

Lol at you asking me to leave. What goes together better than “adhd” and being anti-social.
