I love Explained but this episode missed the mark big time. It was never made clear that their harsh criticism of Adderall was regarding its abuse by those who don't need it as treatment for ADHD. They painted a very sad picture of someone taking a friend's medication and becoming addicted to it and then they just...didn't mention how it changes the lives of those who actually need it. I think that's irresponsible, especially considering how much the stigma already affects people, who deal with friends, family, peers, doctors and pharmacists treating them like drug addicts for attempting to treat their disorder.
