“Help your friends get ADHD and depression meds” by Raemon

For all my efforts at deliberate practicing rationality, by far the most actionable way to self-improve is "get on ADHD or depression meds, if you need them." Your friends with ADHD and depression struggle to summon the motivation and focus necessary to get themselves a teledoc who can give them such meds. One of the most useful things you can do is sit them down and say "hey, wanna do the steps here to get some meds?" and then stare at them until they do. (or, until they say "really I do not want that actually.")
