Dr. Russell Barkley

You don't get it from one guru, one website, one book.

I want you to read widely, but read credible sources, the foundations, the charities, the NIH,

the Chad organization and Canada, the CADRA organization, the add.org here, the World Federation for ADHD.

There are at least 10 websites with lots of information, including my website, which has a lot of free fact sheets on it.

Just read widely, read the books, go to YouTube, look at my videos, acquire the information because you're going to assemble, you know, out of that, the truth keeps popping its head up.

And the nonsense will fall by the wayside because it won't be replicated across these websites.

And you'll begin to get a really core understanding of yourself and your disorder.

Number three, medication.

Of all the treatment components, that's the most effective we have.

And it doesn't matter whether you like that, whether you agree with it.

Medication's not a religion that you believe in.

The facts are the facts.

It's three times better than anything else out there.

And while it doesn't help everybody, it helps most people to an incredible degree.

And as I've said, it can actually normalize over half of the people who take it once we find the right medicine.

So medication, and I look at ADHD as the diabetes of psychiatry.

You would never turn away insulin if I told you you were a diabetic, and yet you have as much a biological problem as the diabetic has.

Why are you turning this down?

It's because you think the medicines are covering something up, that they're a Band-Aid, and they're not.

The medicines are exactly like insulin.
