You are putting way too much trust into "professionals" here. Adult ADHD was essentially not a thing people believed was real a few years ago. Where I live there was no reimbursable stimulants for anyone over 18 until 10 years ago.

Now that people are catching on to the fact they're not actually lazy but just have a much higher barrier to starting and maintaining focus on things they're not extremely passionate about some doctors handle 5-10 new patients a day.

ADHD is not rare. At all. The super strict guidelines exist because people are afraid of Ritalin and they're extra afraid of giving it to children, so double up on your "this is not actually a real thing" hysteria.
