This is complete non-sequitur to what I've said.
ADHD is an awful mental illness that attaching this warped definition to helps absolutely no one with. And I say that as someone who struggled for years to understand what my diagnosis actually meant because of this kind of vapid bullshit I seen pedaled on social media.
It's not just about misdiagnosing themselves, it's about people who have ADHD ending up with deep seated fundamental misunderstandings of their disorder is due to the constant bombardment of misinformation.

Also a pill mill has nothing to do with capitalism. If you're going to use words learn what they mean first.
The idea of a pill mill is physicians will jump to giving you the pills with minimal establishment of history.
It's trying to undermine the controls around the medication in such a way that it practically becomes a (pay-us-to-access-it) candy jar
You're using a service that is literally selling itself as a way to get pills for a specific disorder with the absolute least amount of friction, that's barely a step removed from pill mill.
They're even putting mini-quizes up for people to know if there's a good chance they'll get their diagnosis. Since you don't see a psychiatrist before "passing", you're literally being implicitly "coached" on how to get diagnosed.
Most (good) psychiatrists will take multiple visits with someone who has never been diagnosed before diagnosing let alone giving you pills for it, meanwhile these people are advertising how in 20 minutes you can be getting access to pills...
There's even stories of them turning away people who might have more issues than just ADHD, that's how laser focused their "treatment" is. If you were being given the same level of psychiatric treatment as a normal psychiatrist it'd be absurd to be told "I won't treat you because you have depression", for example.
