> There's a reason the amount of self-described gay and lesbians has dropped massively in regions

Statistics vary, but I can't see any evidence of this?

> It could be that homosexuality was actually just a mask for a trans identity, but that's odd because it would invalidate virtually everything that has been said in defense of tolerance of gays and lesbians.

What? None of this makes sense?

> However, basically nobody starts taking ADHD medicine when they're already an adult, the decision is always made for them.

This is not really true, adult ADHD diagnosis is on the rise.

Also, it's still underdiagnosed. There's some BS that makes it difficult to get "ring of fire" STEREOTYPICAL ADHD patients in favor of overworked professionals hitting professional plateaus.

A huge percentage of people with ADHD don't receive treatment; bear in mind the modern approach of not treating roughly half of patients with ADHD. In other words, they do pretty much nothing at all and tell you to get lost.

So the reality is that they are always under and over treating the condition and there should be awareness of this reality. Success should include working with patients and not relying on over-prescription, or scapegoating people as lost causes.
