vs

False narratives about ADHD (Ritalin is the only answer to all of ADHD;  if Ritalin works, good;  if not, next customer please)

. . .

False narratives are often driven by:

- Special interest groups
- The Not Invented Here syndrome
- Greed
- Ignorance
- Other

...

Some special interest groups can intentionally stay on a false message for decades and decades (example, the tobacco industry).
