      Yup. I’m in Australia. That’s as close as I will say. But yeah, it’s pretty dumb. I mean, last j checked adhd was a mental health condition, and public hospitals, among other things, deal with mental health disorders

        Its weird thats never been challenged in court.

        You should consider filing a legal case, see if theres anything like ADHD patients rights groups or something pharmaceus underwrite and fund because they help furthet the pharms agendi
