The first prescription drug commercial aired in 1983. I discard everything after that.

I suppose that's one way to do it. I don't think that it makes any sense, but you're entitled to it. I do believe, however, that you are disregarding tens of thousands of principled researchers who have spent their life on this, and substituting outdated knowledge for it.
If you are at all interested in testing your belief, a highly accessible discussion can be found here: https://www.alieward.com/ologies/adhd
I agree with a general skepticism of the pharmaceutical industry. I disagree that all of neurology and pharmacology have been completely subsumed by that industry. It is not entirely free of it either, but there is more nuance here than you seem to be allowing.
