I am almost 40 and was recently diagnosed with adhd. I started taking Ritalin earlier this week and I have to say that I have been able to accomplish so much in my work that I was dragging my feet on before.

I work freelance, so I can just put off tasks until they are needed.

I told my brother about it today and found out that both he and his fiancee are also on psych meds. This applies to my wife’s immediate family as well.

As I said, the meds work for me and things have improved a lot, but why is society setup in such a way that such a large number of people need to be medicated to be part of it?

Anyway maybe this is more of a rant, but I also wonder what percent of people in your family are on some kind of psych meds.
