I see ADHD meds constantly being prescribed to people that fit ADHD symptoms; but neurotransmitter levels usually aren’t checked prior, which could cause some issues in development. Capitalism is a parasite that values profit over people, so it is unsurprising to find that some people fit ADHD symptoms because the brutality of capitalism exhausted them.

Artificially inserting neurotransmitters into children can affect their development; health issues could appear as a result.

    I have never had my “neurotransmitter levels” checked before I was prescribed any psychotropic drug, that’s how psychiatrists are. This is the issue with psychiatry and believing mental disorders are “the same” as other organic disorders.

    As an adult, I should get a say in what mind altering substances I ingest. Yet I can’t ask for certain medications unless I want to be accused of drug seeking behaviour. But they no problem giving me benzos for anxiety, it’s just bizarre.
