I was just commiserating with my wife about how we both exhibit a bunch of signs of ADHD but can't get medicated because doctors are highly discouraged from prescribing them, because of the misuse associated with them.

GPs won't prescribe them because of societal pressure, and yet there is also a nationwide shortage of psychiatrists.

The end result is that people who need something to get them to baseline suffer because politicians need to make a hammer-style policy for a scalpel-style problem.

I had this exact thought. It was time to shorten, and make it less weird.

What do you have? Maybe I'll make it two.

Thank you! That analogy clicks nicely in my head, so it's very appreciated.

So, I'm still confused with Instances and how usernames interact with different Instances. I hear there's different content on different Instances, but I'm not sure if I need a new username to log in there, or if I just don't know how to log in using my lemmy.world username.

I hope I'm not too rambly. I'm getting used to the jargon and a little confused.

I like the idea of awards that donate proceeds to food security charities, even though it's only tangential to what you said.

Or that he modded the jailbait subreddit.

So, I'm not sure why I would switch instances (I'm very new). Do I need new account on that instance then? I've heard about different front pages or something. I'm still confused.

I downloaded Connect on your recommendation though. Thanks!
