ADHD: MAHA Report - Reaction
The House and Human Services department under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently issued a report on ADHD that appears poised to radically change treatment options and thoroughly confuse the whole area of ADHD.
This is an amazingly sophomoric report put together by people who had a certain point of view they wanted to support - or they were so inept at interpreting and understanding research that they ended up challenging virtually all the research findings about ADHD.
This report is so wrong in so many ways. Scientists have spent many years researching ADHD and the scientific findings are vastly different than what is presented in the report.
If we accept this report, it will deny much of the knowledge we have about ADHD - from causes - to understanding what it is - to effective treatment.
