Close. It's true in the wild ADHD would not be maladaptive. It does however describe a specfic subset of neuroanatomical and functional features. As that is the case people don't get addicted to speed. That is actually normal people's relationship with caffine. People with most types of adhd have low dopamine levels. So very small doeses of stimulants are given to promote dopamine. If you want to picture it, it is actually more akin to changing the tuning of a car. ADHD actually represents a low idle speed. Patients with adhd have low dopamine, so they are basically waiting for something big to happen to they can respond to it. In the wild that was pretty common. Stimulants turn up the idle speed on the brain and convince it than regular tasks are worth doing.
If you are instrested, I can look up the proper pathophysiology of the dosal regulator clusters of the bain and the proper names for the systems involved. I can't remember off the top of my head right now.
ADHD infact incrased the odds of addictions. There is a bunch of xlinical data related to that. Some of it crosses over but some specifcially for that constalation of symptoms
Fucking thank you. This shit isn't some pharma plot to push meth. There were issues with over-prescribing like 20 years ago and it was largely dealt with. Mental healthcare is flawed within capitalism because fucking everything is flawed under capitalism.

Agree, but will add that ADHD does not make you remotely immune to abusing/becoming addicted to speed. I am imperical proof.
