I would never argue that there's no such thing as a condition that requires truly medical intervention. We've constructed a system where people are self-diagnosing as adults and receiving medication they possibly don't need. I grew up in an era where mental illness was so shameful it could never be talked about. If we never talk about it and push it under the rug, everybody loses. It is societal moors about medicalization run amok. There were regions in North Carolina, Arkansas, Indiana where 35% of the middle schoolers had been dead boys had been diagnosed with ADHD.
