A red button. Image says: ‘Would you press the button?’ [results of pressing the button:] there exists a pill that makes your disability a LOT less debilitating BUT it’s near-impossible to get because the non-disabled enjoy taking the pill for fun and the government doesn’t want them to.

    Guess I’m a loser for caring that doctors have refused to treat me unless I go off the ADHD meds then

      Doctor’s who don’t suck at treating anything that requires controlled substances are few and far between. Many are ignorant about the actual laws governing scheduled substances so they just try to minimize prescribing any even if it means worse care for the patient.

      No, that does not apply to you. You are not the one being critical, imposing a stigma onto others, and refusing care. You are the victim or affected party, not the aggressor causing problems.

      It’s like saying…people that mug others on the streets & steal their money are real losers. They should make their own money. I’m not pointing to the person they rob & call them losers. ¯\(°_o)/¯

          As someone who was denied treatment for my ADHD because I am able to hold a job (diagnosed late in life) I’m curious: why on earth would doctors deny treatment the other way around too? That sounds so illogical.

          If I’m intruding too much - just dont reply, I understand.
