Explosive Four Corners Report Finds Most Of These Mature-Aged ADHD Sufferers Are Actually Just Lefties With Annoying Personalities

After years of being dismissed as leftie circle-jerk that hates farmers and racing, the public broadcaster has this week been accused of EXTREME political correctness by their own base.

This follows last night's highly controversial Four Corners exposè into Australia's meteoric boom in mature-aged ADHD patients.

Once isolated to hyperactive children who experience extreme behavioural issues when exposed to red cordial, in recent years ADHD has become mainstream adult ailment.

And data shows that both psychologists and pharmaceutical companies are making millions off this trend.

However, last night's investigation shows that a vast number of these cases begin with the social media algorthim, as the Australian middle class is flooded with a problematic culture of self-diagnosis.

Some treat the condition as though it is as debilitating as quadriplegia, and that it requires a civil rights movement to defend each patient as though they are oppressed minorities fighting to survive in a medical apartheid.

Others treat it as a life-changing diagnosis that allows once misunderstood and overwhelmed citizens the opportunity the thrive on the sweet sweet elixir of prescription amphetamines.

Across Australia, the percentage of adults filling prescriptions for ADHD medicine has risen more than six-fold since 2017. Nationally, 2.36 per cent of adults aged between 20 and 65 have filled a script for ADHD medication at least once in the 2025 financial year.

Unfortunately, for the credibility of this trendy new neurological condition, the majority of these prescriptions are taking place in equally trendy, left-wing enclaves like Sydney's inner-west, Melbourne's northside, and Western Australia's psych-rock heartland of Fremantle.

These concerning data points are also not helped by the fact that the ABC's investigation has highlighted the usual bloated industry lobby groups that are spending big money to prop up the boom.

It has also found that much more serious conditions are going undiagnosed as both patients and doctors succumb to an industry-wide bias that is pushing everyone towards the same conclusions.

However, the main finding that is causing the most heated backlash from Four Corners viewers is the fact that some people just have annoying personalities, and no diagnosis is going to change that.
