None of the resources you link specifically address psychostimulants for ADHD. Handwaving and vaguely suggesting one drug is pretty much like all others isn't going to cut it: drugs don't work that way, drugs are _specific_.

The sordid situation around generics manufacturing has no bearing whatsoever on the effectiveness of plain old dexamphetamine or methylphenidate in helping people with ADHD. The FDA approval process doesn't impact how drugs work, just how they're licensed. And just because one single drug contained a carcinogenic ingredient doesn't suddenly mean they all do.

I'll give you one thing though: exercise helps people with ADHD. In addition to psychostimulants.
