Where do you live? Thats crazy bro and also crazy backwards. So only the rich can get stimulants, basically?
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
Maybe ask on the australian adhd reddit and see if thats always the case or theres some trick you werent aware of
