Psychiatry is so full of half-truths and misconceptions (on the part of the clinicians), I could scarcely note them all. Here's a few:
My fave: many symptoms presented by children that get treatment are actually in response to abuse and abandonment, not ADHD.
If you have insurance to pay for outpatient therapy, even if you're in horribly dire straights, have been abused, addiction etc- you'll be lucky to get 6 sessions.
Many clinicians suggest meds because they've run out of their own ideas, or are simply confronted with their own incompetence, as opposed to someone really requiring them.
Psychiatrists often charge for "a therapeutic hour", but often see their clients for barely 15 minutes.
We don't really know how and/or why (sometimes if) most every pharmaceutical psychoactive drug works.
Music:
You're hardly listening to a lot of the bands you think you are. Vocalists are constantly getting pitch-corrected.
A lot of instruments are being played by studio musicians as opposed to the bands themselves.
People aren't even playing through songs and recording 'em. They pick the best "sections" (verses, choruses, bridges etc), and copy/paste 'em in software.
Lots of lyrics aren't even being written by the bands/artists. We're not talking about doing covers or collaboration- there's cats that simply get their stuff purchased and played by other "musicians" because their own songs are t3h suxx0rz.
Bands do not make a shitload of money. They're lucky to make a buck (literally) off of every CD. However, the rationale then used for downloading music hurts the artist as much as it hurts the record company in question.
