Yeah, so this is the research of a researcher in Oregon named Joel Nigg. And I think this is really important. I think that one of the downsides of us having perceived this condition as this sort of yes or no black or white disorder is that it has obscured the fact that there are really lots of different degrees of intensity of ADHD.

So, you know, the young guy I talked to who, you know, was using it for baseball as much as he was using it for school He almost certainly does not have a really intense case of ADHD, but there are lots of kids who do. And what Joel Nick has found is that between 30 and 40 percent of young people diagnosed with ADHD also have symptoms of intense anger as children.

And that that is often the beginning of real psychological problems. When you have both hyperactivity and impulse control and intense emotional dysregulation, that's a real warning sign. And that those kids, it's not just about changing their environment.

They really do need treatment, which might include stimulant medication, but it also might include other things that those young people have are more likely to have coexisting other disorders, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, anxiety disorder. And so they need a more careful set of treatments.

Well, I'll say first that that particular claim that Wes Crenshaw asked for an interview is not true. So the reason that Attitude is responding so intensely, I think, is because I wrote about this magazine about Attitude in my article.

And one of the things that I noticed in Attitude was that there were a number of articles aimed at parents of children who were resisting the diagnosis and resisting medication treatment. And I talked to a lot of these kids, right, who were themselves being treated and who had really mixed feelings about it.

And so the idea that parents need a strategy to persuade their kids to take medication felt really out of keeping with the research that I was reading, that medication works for some kids. but it doesn't work for all kids, that on the whole, the benefits of stimulant medication outweigh the deficits for most people. But for individual kids, sometimes it is not the right choice.
