Episode 040: In this eye-opening episode of Don’t Mind Me, I Just Have ADHD, host Ron Souers invites you to zoom out and see ADHD through a radical new lens—one that exposes the billion-dollar industry shaping your diagnosis. This isn’t just about pills and prescriptions. This is about stories—who gets to tell them, who profits from them, and how those stories become the invisible bars of our mental health.

Following Part Four’s deeply personal conversation with Ron’s mother on generational trauma and inherited shame, Part Five examines how pharmaceutical companies, cultural messaging, and medical marketing have all played a role in shaping how we understand—and misinterpret—ADHD.With sensitivity, honesty, and fierce kindness, Ron walks us through the real science, the real risks, and the real harm that occurs when people are reduced to a diagnosis and medicated without meaningful care.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re broken without a prescription, this episode is for you.
