    If you say so. But I would venture to guess you don’t know more than the diagnosticians with their extensive testing.

    Absolutely not self-medicating tho. They were in controlled environments and while drugs would occasionally enter the RCFs/ALFs, it was easy to spot and test for.

    I’m not saying these people did not have dysfunctional behavior. But they did not have any diagnosis related to their self-indulging laziness. Some people are overachievers and others are extremely lazy. What I’m describing is more a personality trait and likely influenced by their upbringing.

      The most common form of self-medication is caffeine and alcohol.

        Both substances were regulated at the facilities. Obviously alcohol, but caffeine can interfere with specific meds or exacerbate certain people’s symptoms.
