Thanks for the references to those excellent posts.
I think, actually, that things are even crazier than Catch 22. Consider the adult depression patient who one way or another happens to know the Schedule II stimulants are very effective for his/her depression. Catch 22. Now consider the large number of GPs prescribing stimulants to children willy nilly, given the slightest evidence of ADHD. I don't mean to say that most children prescribed stimulants don't need them. I don't know. I hope, however, that people will appreciate the irony of the two prescribing attitudes.
Cheers to all,
Britt
