I see a hundred of these companies that apparently "specialize in ADHD". I see them all in the same light unfortunately of profiteering in various ways around the incompetent medical system the US has.

Is this a better price than a licensed therapist? Yes

Is this a more practical solution than what you might get? Yes

But it just feels ethically wrong to promote your services to people who are "undiagnosed" or "think they have" ADHD. This is exactly what social media is doing today in the sense of trying to convince you have something because you happen to engage in said content.

I mean just look at the eligibility:

- Adults 18+

- No formal diagnosis required

- Smartphone with internet access

- No suicidal ideation with plan and/or intent
