You are making assumptions the parent did not imply. You can be on ADHD meds and not be addicted to them, ffs. I am on low-dose adderall xr on days that I need it and I have never had an issue. Everyone is different, but to imply that the adderall has caused an “active physical dependency” is no different from stating that too many people drink caffeine (except that because I only take it as needed it’s not even a fair comparison). You’d be right, but it does not do significant harm, especially given how therapeutic the right drug can be in the right doses. Can it do significant harm? Sure. So can Ibuprofen.
