    Doc can’t CURE you because pharma only invests in drugs to MANAGE illness.* Because that gets them paid forever, not just once.

    • I’m speaking of cure and illness generally, not necessarily calling ADHD an illness rather than a brain type that’s out of sync with modern society.

        The USA capitalist system effectively worships money more than God. It’s not a conspiracy theory so much as a not unwarranted suspicion about for-profit drug companies’ likely motivations and priorities. The only thing potentially keeping that at bay is the threat of someone else disrupting their cash flow with an actual cure - although that doesn’t prevent them from burying cures they find themselves unless it benefits them, or significantly disadvantages a major competitor.
