With all due respect, say less things like this.

You're wrong -the drugs treat a medical condition. Its not "doping" or "performance enhancing".

> It makes it harder for those who wish to use their natural cognitive abilities

Our society is full of people enhancing their natural abilities... with things like cars and escalators and calculators. Treating a medical condition is fixing a medical "flaw" but it is NOT some sort of get-ahead scheme.

This sort of diminutive language leaves people feeling bad about themselves instead of seeking adequate medical treatment.
