00:00:00
Right. We always demonize ADHD medicine.
00:00:03
Riddle them.
00:00:03
Rumm.
00:00:04
Okay. It's speed basically.
00:00:06
Are we causing ADHD as a function of the
00:00:09
way that we're living our lives or is it
00:00:10
something within the brain genetically
00:00:12
that I could I could see?
00:00:13
So, it's both. I think clearly you can
00:00:17
see ADHD in people's families. In fact,
00:00:20
if I have a hyperactive, restless,
00:00:23
impulsive, disorganized, procrastinating
00:00:27
child, I'm looking at the mom and the
00:00:28
dad. I'm like, "So, where is this coming
00:00:30
from?" But you could also get ADHD from
00:00:33
a head injury, especially if it affects
00:00:36
their frontal loes, which is why you
00:00:37
shouldn't let children hit soccer balls
00:00:39
with their forehead. You can also get it
00:00:42
from the chronic from the excessive
00:00:45
input, making people distracted, just
00:00:47
like you said, brand new study out on
00:00:51
children who took medicine, right? We
00:00:53
always demonize ADHD medicine, but the
00:00:57
kids who took medicine actually had
00:01:01
bigger brains in their prefrontal cortex
00:01:05
than kids who didn't take medicine who
00:01:07
had AD.
00:01:08
Rolin.
00:01:09
Ritalinum.
00:01:10
That that's okay. It's speed basically.
00:01:12
Yeah. Inetamines.
00:01:13
It is. But for the kids who have it, I
00:01:17
think withholding medicine
00:01:20
from a child who really has ADHD is like
00:01:23
withholding glasses from someone who has
00:01:26
trouble seeing. And it's it's the easy
00:01:30
thing to demonize the drugs until you
00:01:33
realize someone who has ADHD,
00:01:36
a third of them don't finish high
00:01:38
school.
