Thinking about it I picked a bad example with ADHD: there are other forces involved there as well. I also want to add that if you want evidence of how broken the system you are defending is, take a look at drug company's results: look at research vs marketing spend, reliance on minor improvements of out of patent drugs to give in-patent brands that can be marketed, lack of NCEs (new chemical entities) relative to spend. The look at the extent to which governments subsidise research as well. Huge tax breaks in the UK (you can set off more than you spend!), subsidies research everywhere, the necessity for additional incetives such as orphan drug designations.....
