As a person with ADHD I hate these fancy high tech super slick promo products / sites. They all appear to made by people who are do not have ADHD (might be wrong) but they figure they know what such people need. And that is yet another calendar / task list with some spices. they can use to go after grants / stipends etc. Aside from a privacy nightmare. Yeah I am giving a presentation to the board about this new confidential product and i dont know how to structure it > Tell me all about this new product and how it will work. > Can you tell me the name of the company and its stock ticker? They dont even say what the price is. Or how they monetize it. Or the source code Or ... I think the best way to help is to fund basic research,

"all you need to do is focus" is what I read when I see an "ADHD help" tool/article/lifestyle/pleasegiveusmoneyscheme about 90% of the time. not just that it's made by people that don't have adhd, but people that haven't even read the modern science literature on the treatment and condition itself. it's frustrating!

  I am not sure about that. It depends how far you want to take it. I dont think ADHD medication should be OTC. An experienced psychiatrist should always prescribe it. There are issues surrounding that in the US, given price. In Norway my meds are free.

OTC or not, the controlled substance laws and schedules (yes, in the US) have resulted in the demand exceeding the supply. People who need them cannot get them because they're just not available. Pharmacists can't even tell you what they do or don't have.
