    nice but i dont see it doing me much good .. there are no medical people in BC treating adults with adhd, and no listing for

    md s with experience in it and no coaches nearby. Option left is to sell house, move a few hundred miles to Vancouver and

    then if there is much left after renting something, pay several hundred $$ for coaching .. it sucks out here there is no support

    either provincially or federally;.

    As usual, left to my own devices .

    It’s an interesting article but I think they are over-hyping it a bit. Researchers have been tuned in to the Glutamate hypothesis for a while now. It’ll probably be several years before anything practical and usable comes out of this research.

    About 79% of what ADHD is genetically inherited but we have likely identified about 4% of the relevant genes so far. The most consistent gene has still been the first, DRD4.7

    A long way to go.
