I mean, does it though...? The strongest claim they make is that "timely diagnosis and treatment" (via medication) "may reduce the risk", which seems like a pretty indisputable statement based on the observed corellations.

Anyway, as a side note:

  People on ADHD medicine are also going through mental health treatments and get special care and privileges in society

I mean technically yeah, but the vast, vast majority of psychiatric medication management relationships don't involve therapy. Still more likely to pursue it though, I agree. Is that a bad thing, though? Absent of evidence pharmacological treatment doesn't help, this feels like a time we can just recommend and embrace both.

  the effects of ADHD medication numb their responses and emotions to what seems outwardly stable and normal but deep inside it is an inhibitor of development

Your musings are not at all based in science, but instead personal anxieties. That's fine for you, but please don't casually muse about the secret nature of lifesaving clinical treatments, especially the treatment that is possibly the most stigmatized yet effective treatment in our society (after PrEP, I suppose).
