You have no idea what you are talking about. These stimulants work markedly different for folks with this different brain chemistry, and pretty clearly so. 20mg of Adderall for someone with ADHD (who benefits from it?) - finally only having one thing at a time they are thinking about instead of 20. And most of the time, they can sleep better that night - maybe even a ‘finally can sleep’ night. Someone with normal brain chemistry? Obsessive, hyper focus and unable to sleep potentially for days. Having seen it myself. |

Medication (with stimulants) often allows the person to stop or control it when it isn’t helpful or desirable, and actually sleep. Which is quite unintuitive at first.
Inattentive type is also a thing, and often looks like someone who is always daydreaming/off in their own world. That tends to show up more in women, but that’s only a rough categorization. Some folks cycle back and forth.
Overall as pointed out elsewhere, it’s the difficulty in regulating and directing attention that is the problem, and when it causes distress and difficulty living a normal life is when it gets categorized as a disorder.
