well at least this person suggests a doctor, some will reference a YouTube video where an influencer talks about gut supplements that will completely cure any mental health issues, cancer, diabetes and coronary heart diseases linked to genetic factors
some people aren't there for a conversation, but are just waiting for the right moment to say the thing they want to say to get the brain chemicals they reward themselves with once they say it.
High five for you and everybody else here. It's like one of the 12 Rules for Life, assume that the other person knows things that you don't. Remembering that rule tames the racing thoughts and helps me to listen effectively for a few moments. It holds relationships together.
get the brain chemicals they reward themselves
Damn. They should probably see a doctor about that and not take drugs.

Never tell people you take adderall. They'll ask you for adderall to get high.

What part of prescribed adderall do u not understand?
Also, it should be pretty obvious they've got adhd if they're not going batshit coocoo after taking it, they're fucking amphetamines.
I took speed once with a friend and he was completely off the rails, I didn't feel anything. Is that a bad sign?
Could be, yes. People with ADHD respond to stimulants differently to how NTs do, it usually has a more calming/relaxing or focusing effect.
Scientifically, I think (based on all the huberman ep's I've listened to) it's cuz it makes up for our lack of dopamine receptors helping us perform tasks, and our minds act like a NT's, and since an NT's dopamine levels are normal it sends them into overdrive and makes them hella overstimulated.
Dats why when NT's take addy recreationally it makes them go mental, cuz it's basically a controlled version of speed. I don't do blow but I know certain man with ADHD who have and they tell me it knocks them out, like a sleeping pill.

See a doctor
Done.
Don't take drugs.
But... the doctor said...
Why are you listening to doctors?
But... you said...
“Well, Richard. You mind if I call you Richard? Well, Dick. Sometimes the doctor prescribes this for me.”
"Yes, here's the name of my doctor on the side of the bottle. Feel free to call her and give her your wisdom."
Prescribed is the key word here. How fucking stupid do you have to be to miss it? Person is probably a royal hater in all things.

This is why the correct response to, "May I ask what that is?" is "No."
I've had someone tell me with a straight face that I'm "basically taking meth".
This is the same kind of person that says "American cheese slices are one molecule away from being plastic!"
Even if meth was chemically identical to ADHD meds, the argument still wouldn't hold. Anything that lessens people's symptoms without creating even more problems can be a medication.
Hell even if it creates more problems, but lessens symptoms in a way that's better than the problems, it can be a medication. Like chemotherapy.
I like to pour them a glass of peroxide and tell them to drink it. It's basically water. Literally just a molecule away from being water bro. Drink it bro, cmon! It's just a molecule!
