In reply to what do you think of these arguments?, posted by greg diamond on March 26, 2005, at 13:11:48
On the balance I think the article is a crock.
On example:
there is a huge body of research into causation of depression
and the relative effectiveness of treatments that the author ignores. Research suggests that for many people medication + therapy are more effective than one or the other and that there
arte some people who simply won't be helped.ADHD
appears to be a neurological condition or a neurological
"type" that processes dopamine differently leading to both
tremendous creativity and energy and disorganization.
Looking at objective criteria like school test results suggests
that stimulant medication has abetter effect than any other treatment regime. Good pdocs also recommend ADHD coaching or support.
