Petition for them to call them “medications” instead of drugs😐 It was prescribed to me by a doctor ffs.

adhd medications act like a drug but only to neurotypical people, it helps neurodivergent people feel and perform somewhat more “normal” but they don’t want to really acknowledge that :/

Yeah…I trust medical professionals to use the word drug without stigma but I feel like in a headline the distinction would be important. These aren’t street drugs, they’re meds that save lives.

I think the article speaks exclusively wrt people who actually need the med/are diagnosed. Like I can see how medicating people who need to be medicated/truly gave adhd will reduce their risk of car accidents, at the very least

There are lots of people who don’t get medicated who self medicate with illegal drugs. Been happening with weed for years. Coke too
