That second tweet is a bit concerning, though. Let's not forget that many ADHD meds are addicting to non-ADHD brains.
It does not compute for me that my medication is on a list of "highly addictive substances" in my country yet I actively have to set myself reminders to take it or I will just plain forget lmao
Is it that hard to understand that a brain with a structural impairment will respond to a chemical differently than a brain without that structural impairment?
uhm.. is the rhetorical concept of hyperbole hard to understand? It's just difficult to imagine based on my experience, that doesn't mean I actually don't understand.
Fair enough.
