Episode description

Stanton and Zach discuss why the disease theory will never die in America, no matter how many Americans die from drugs, even as Carl Hart and others (futilely) join Stanton’s antidisease campaign after four decades on his own. 

They then move on to marvel at “disease envy.” Some privileged  women now welcome ADHD diagnoses, which had previously been restricted to men, and especially minority men. This, even as many Black critics saw the ADHD label as a major impediment to young Black men’s progress.

This embrace of ADHD and her other disease medications means she can no longer cry at Springsteen’s music, even though “Bruce” inspired her to love her trifecta diagnosis of anxiety-depression-ADHD.
