Okay, so, lithium is used to treat bipolar. Metformin is being tested to treat lithium weight gain. Modafinil is sometimes used for treatment resistant depression. And escitalopram is an anti-depressant. All of that, plus the hormones (which some doctors think might help folks with depression), makes me think that the author has a health issue and his biohacking success is actually just reflective of him getting better. I can't see how he could convince a doctor to prescribe these meds otherwise.

No, in his introduction it said that this was his hobby. I feel like he would have mentioned if he had any sort of illness, otherwise that would be dishonest writing.

I agree. Given how fascinated he's become by it all I think un-diagnosed ADHD should be on the list, too.
