Nope – I’m pretty convinced it is a way to drug them and more so to shut down the more active children or “dissidents” in the eyes of the higher ups.

This is not the case at all.
In the 90s and early 2000s ADD meds were certainly over prescribed. This has led to stricter regulations. If you were to go to your psychiatrist today and ask for ADD meds they would put you through several hours of testing to determine if you actually have ADD before even thinking about prescribing the meds.
As far as the conspiracy part of it goes they definitely keep people on ADD meds to keep them working harder for longer hours but it only works in conjunction with brainwashing. If a person wakes up and takes ADD meds to help them work harder in fighting the system then the medication backfires on the system completely.

It’s most definitely not fictional but, like with all things, can be exploited by people with bad intentions. Most people with ADHD just need tools (not medication) to help manage it. There are a million phone apps now that help with things like time management. For some, medication is basically the only way they can function in society. Without it, they’d never complete a task or be on time for anything. We could adjust the way society functions to support them, but that’s generally not the approach we take.
