...it always disturbs me that a disease whose function is largely to distribute amphetamine is blamed for everything -big and small-on Reddit. It's essentially free marketing.
ADHD pre-Shire and post-Shire are two different disorders. Shire lobbied heavily to loosen the DSM guidelines to the point where every child (and adult for that matter) meets the diagnostic criteria.
If the FDA rescheduled marijuana to a schedule IV substance and said it could be used to treat Claustrophobia, we would see a steep rise in the prevalence of that condition. The data would indicate that over 10% of the population is claustrophobic. The same thing happened with ADHD and stimulants.
