ADHD Medication: Straight Answers to Big Questions

January 27, 2016:  Rick Green and Jeff Copper, an ADHD and attention coach, agree. They don’t want you to have to take ADHD medications. However, if you are like most other adults with ADHD, not taking meds and haven’t done the research on the pros and cons, there is a good chance it is costing you and you’re suffering needlessly from ignorance. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, Rick Green (http://totallyadd.com) discusses the making of his a five-video series covering every aspect of ADHD medication. Rick talks about the challenge of weaving together interviews with dozens of experts and 18 adults who have ADHD and were willing to tell their “medication stories.” He also shares insights on ADHD meds and insights gained from producing the documentary. He now has a very different view of the potential and the limits of medication and a clear sense of the role of medication in a holistic treatment plan. It’s become clear that people’s fears about medication are misplaced. If you have been diagnosed with or are impacted by ADHD, it is huge mistake to miss this show.
