One question that comes to mind is how they test. Reliable tests on humans so far are mainly urine and blood samples and spinal fluid samples … all are less than usefull for ADHD because medical science is just beginning to learn about brain chemistry. Think of the Wright Brothers’ airplane; that’s about where we are in knowing about ADHD.
Scans, brain scans, etc, lovely things but are they showing something that causes ADHD .. or .. something caused by ADHD ?
Don’t know .. have not seen anything remotely conclusive …
The other question is the standard one about why a percentage of people are cured by the placebo in tests .. it happens and often
enough to suggest that we can, at times, heal ourselves .. rare but it happens .. and where does that fit in?
I used to sell ‘penny stocks’ the high risk investments that are wallpaper in many professionals’ rooms. People will buy stuff even when they know that the risks are way in excess of the gains.
Oh, and personnally, my ADHD includes a huge amount of impulsiveness … restraint is hard, and I already own a few bridges.
