I pay for both a psychiatrist and a psychologist and while my psychologist knows for sure I have ADHD neither of then can prescribe me stimulants so instead I'm on Lexapro so at least I don't have to care.

Right but your scenario presumes a great deal, and millions of Americans can't pay for therapy, nor the medicines required to live a better quality of life. Even people with "good jobs" can have awful health coverage with enormous deductibles and other hoops to jump through.

And the kicker is that we pay more than any other industrialized country and get the worst ROI because it's all been allowed to be run by private corporations, for maximum profit.
