Reddit reviews ADHD Does Not Exist: The Truth About Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder

There's this highly suspect book out here that uses what you're saying as an argument to say that ADHD as a disorder does not exist but it is "actually a cluster of symptoms stemming from over 20 other conditions and disorders." https://www.amazon.com/ADHD-Does-Not-Exist-Hyperactivity/dp/006226673X. I rolled my eyes all the way to the back of my head when I first came to know about it.

I suggest you read ADHD Does Not Exist by Dr. Richard Saul. The Book of Woe by Dr. Gary Greenberg is another enlightening book about mental illness.

Go tell your doctor that you’re crushing & snorting your Ritalin, and taking far more than you’ve been instructed to take. Your doctor could put you on Strattera, or some other non-stimulant medication. Or, you can try to manage your symptoms without medication.

I was diagnosed with ADHD, too. I also snorted my Ritalin. Today, my personal belief is that “ADHD” is a very much a bullshit disorder, and giving people stimulant medication does more harm than good, more often than not. People like us, who like to snort our Ritalin, should not be prescribed Ritalin.

I recall reading (somewhere) that stimulant drugs help with ADHD symptoms...very temporarily. After you’ve been taking methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine for six months, you’re no better than you were BEFORE you started taking it; you’re just drug-dependent.

You're downvoted, but there are doctors and research who agree with you:
