As Mark Moran was facing another 90-hour week as an investment-banking intern at Credit Suisse in New York, he knew he needed help to survive the rest of the summer. His colleagues gave him a tip: Visit a Wall Street health clinic and tell the staff he had trouble focusing.

ADHD (predominantly inattentive) is only properly diagnosable by a legit neurologist in possession of the relevant receipts of one’s life.
ADHD (physically hyperactive) can maybe be diagnosed without all of those receipts, but the predominantly inattentive variety can’t.
I’ve felt for a long time that adhd drugs are the real culprits in the “died suddenly” epidemic.
I have ADHD inattentive type. I’m a 71 yo woman who wasn’t diagnosed until 2016. I had to go through several extensive appointments with a psychologist as well as computer-based testing before my diagnosis was established. During the pandemic, pop-up clinics proliferated where all they required was a 5-minute consult in order to get an instant diagnosis and a prescription for stimulants. However, that lead to a medication shortage for the kids and adults that were diagnosed prior to that time. All 3 of my kids as well as my husband were diagnosed yrs ago and we all suffered from the shortage for the next 2 yrs, which was pretty infuriating.
Marking for later...
I was watching a British show about ADHD. There is biologically based, which has the hemispheres incompletely separatedly which results in jumbled signals. There is also environmentally caused, which is abusive homes or lack of sleep or improperly raised.
Our economy being run by junkies.
“...hemispheres incompletely separatedly which results in jumbled signals...”
Hadn’t heard that. Sounds reasonable. Affecting executive functioning and all that.
Modern ADHD medication is available, engineered specifically to defeat efforts to consume the active ingredient +a stimulant) in an unduly concentrated form (which true addicts always end up desperately trying to do).

This article implies that this is still the process for being seen and obtaining legit prescriptions for these drugs. Is this indeed the case?
Yours: “our economy being run by junkies”
Mine: yes, and our government and our courts and half the automobiles on the road today are being run by junkies and alcoholics
And just plain crazies generally.
It explains a lot
Oooh, just imagine how the banking industry/cartel would be different if fentanyl had been handed out.
90hr week is pure BS... Needing a prescription to keep you awake and focused would be the first sign you’re in the wrong job.
From a friend and family, same thing in DC for the ambitious, and Z drugs for your four hours of sleep.
Plus there is now on sale for the next month only, the supersize Joe blanket pardon.
Back in the last 90’s, Cocaine was the drug of choice in Silicon Valley.
I never did it but I knew those who did.
70-80 hr work weeks and managers who drove employees to the brink were the cause
“Get it done or we will find someone who will!” was the constant threat.
I did 4 weeks of 90+ hrs and it nearly killed me.
I did 90hr work weeks for Intel.
Nearly killed me but I got the job done.
Didn’t need drugs to do it but I knew many who did.
Silicon Valley and Wall Street are two locations that are very different than the rest of the world.
