Effects On The SideThe ADHD Industry: Drugging a Generation
Is ADHD really a widespread disorder, or has it been manufactured to create lifelong pharmaceutical customers? In this episode, we take a hard look at how ADHD medications like Adderall and Ritalin became billion-dollar drugs, the rise in diagnoses among children, and the long-term consequences of stimulant dependency. We investigate how the medical system, backed by Big Pharma, has overdiagnosed and overmedicated an entire generation, creating dependency under the guise of treatment. Are these drugs truly helping, or are they setting kids up for a lifetime of addiction and mental health struggles?
