Yeah it’s hard to write specific criteria for some mental disorders. They’re not all uniform in presentation or affect. It’d really be up to the therapist. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like most of the ADHD meds usually have long lasting adverse effects. |

The thing I don’t like about adhd is that the premise is the brain doesn’t produce enough dopamine so we return it to normal levels…but the brain always seeks homeostasis so it will adapt by producing more dopamine reuptake cells. There are no conclusive imaging studies or genetic markers for it.
The meds certainly do work but if you ask someone to explain their condition to you they have all have the same simplified and erroneous explanation as to why they can handle addictive meds and the general population cannot.
I think it’s pretty much a general smart drug but with high risk of addiction.
