[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 222862, member: 23"] I received a request for a research interview today. I'm short on time, so kinda did it on the fly. What did I forget to say? Short preference from researcher: "I am researching children with ADHD and whether they are overdiagnosed." 1. You say ADHD is not overdiagnosed, yet millions of children are prescribed with drugs for having the mental disorder. How do you resolve this apparent contradiction? 2. Some medical experts prefer a pharmacological treatment; others a behavioral and psychological methodology citing the dangers in Concerta, Adderall and Ritalin. Which do you prefer? Why? 3. With all of the available literature on ADHD, how do we determine what to believe and what not to accept? 4. Do you feel students of college-age and above self report their own attention deficit hyperactivity disorders? 5. The New York Times reported several stories on the abuses of ritalin and concerta on a college campus, especially around finals. What's your experience in this realm? Is this a problem that is going overlooked? Thank you for your interest. I regret that I don't have time to write this in a more eloquent fashion and check for typos, but I'm trying to meet an inflexible deadline. Sheila [/QUOTE]
