I've only looked into depression[1] and ADHD[2].

The symptoms are real. The impairment is real. But the cause is unknown.

I think you made my argument better than I could!

ADHD = pay money for pills. Depression = pay money for pills.

There couldn't be anything easier than just spending money to make problems go away.

If someone tells you your brain is broken, why bother with willpower.

Same with institutional racism really. If the system's against you, why try.
