    Huh? How is it not healthcare? ADHD is a disorder that’s usually well-treated with medication.

    I get the person is applying for a disability claim but surely they must already have tried and failed to achieve satisfactory symtpom adjustment to receive welfare?

            Does that mean

            A) disability claims aren’t healthcare

            B) insurance companies aren’t the only healthcare providers in the world

            ?

              I can’t tell if this is an actual confusion about the difference between the American health care and social services systems or just like petty malicious internet one-upmanship.

              Assuming it’s the former, disability payments aren’t actually part of the health care system in the United States. Like, you don’t get a payout from any organization that actually handles healthcare, it’s a separate bureaucracy that just serves to gatekeep disability income.
