Adult ADHD wasn’t recognized until 1989. That’s when the first follow up studies of the ‘Ritalin Kids’ of the 60’s and 70’s showed that up to two-thirds of them were still struggling with the same damn symptoms in adulthood!
Until five years ago Adult ADHD wasn’t even taught at the medical schools in this province. (A reason to see a younger Doctor. They can be more open minded and informed!)
So the level of ignorance about ADHD amongst Doctors is profound, and that’s why Dr. J and other set up CADDRA. To get the word out.
If your Doctor doesn’t know about it, or believe it, show them the documentary

or wait a few months and you can buy the extended version (50% longer!) from our E store. (Coming soon!)
And send them to CADDRA.ca. It’s designed for Doctors.
