ADHD

I mean, especially given the context, I think it's good to get this point out there. However, I do think it's important to point out that it's low risk for ADHD people, as opposed to no risk. For most of us, we really don't have much if anything to really worry about, but for anyone also struggling with some form of addiction or if they're in college, the risk is increased. To be clear about ADHD and addiction disorders, concurrent treatment is the recommendation including treatment with stimulant medication, but taking caution on a case-by-case basis. Even in those cases, a good amount of psychiatrists find the risk worth it considering the benefits.

To the primary reason I'm still giving a bit of pushback; the increased risk in college. This builds on the point you've made here in why the low risk warrants more attention in this context. There's a myth that won't fucking die going around that stimulant medication, especially Adderall, will also help Neurotypical people with their academic performance. This is NOT the case and the studies show that it may even hurt academic performance for non-medical use of stimulant medication with NTs. This is on top of a high risk for addiction. And, studies show, stimulant medication is extremely commonly used as a party drug as well. All this to say that where NTs overwhelmingly get these stimulants is diversion of someone with a diagnosis/prescription, versus trying to fake it into a diagnosis or going through an illicit dealer. I personally speculate that the relationship of the people getting the stimulants from ADHD people is what draws in a number of ADHD people to party and abuse their medication as well, greatly increasing the addiction risk. The culture around stimulant medication at college campuses should be something addressed with anyone physically going to college that has ADHD, especially if they have a stimulant prescription. The money isn't worth it, the stimulants will actually actively harm people without ADHD(all those physiological effects without any of the benefits), if they're claiming it's to help with their "undiagnosed ADHD", tell them to get a diagnosis, and just don't even associate with the "party people" that ask for your MEDICALLY NECESSARY medication that is needed for you to be able to function just so they can take it recreationally.

Yes, it's unfair, unjust, infuriating, etc that this is a problem primarily manufactured by those without ADHD, I'm with you. My main point in bringing this up, though, is to recognize the increased risk to yourself in context. The risk to people with ADHD to become addicted to their prescription stimulant is low in a vacuum. Statistically, the social and academic pressure is real enough at college for the addiction risk to skyrocket due to dramatically higher rates of stimulant medication abuse for people with ADHD in college. It may not be fair, but we must engage with the reality in front of us. If you're physically going to college, lock your shit up, don't tell anyone you're prescribed stimulants, and be honest enough with yourself that if you're unsure if you'd be able to trust yourself to not abuse the medication to find a way to leave it with the campus doctor to take there, or the disability office, or psychology department, or whatever other campus service you can find. Just do what you've gotta do, this too shall pass. Sorry for the wall of text, but the problem is bad enough at colleges in America that it's important to address.

TL;DR: It's generally true that ADHD people are low risk for becoming addicted to their prescription stimulant. The risk for abuse and addiction is dramatically higher while physically in college mostly from social pressure. Understand this and protect yourself while there.
