> People are not developing major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders from not being on ADHD medications, at least not on the scale you’re referring to. Evidence for this? ADHD meds have completely made my depression/anxiety go away because I'm no longer fighting with my brain. This has been the experience for dozens of other people that I know. > Because they are not medical professionals. What they want needs to be vetted and discussed with a doctor. Yeah. It's a schedule 2 drug. Which means you *need* to discuss it with a doctor anyway. I still disagree with it being a scheduled drug. I wonder how many people are in prison because of self medication?
