I thought the article was fair. Ned Hallowell is a psychiatrist with ADHD who has specialized in treatment of ADHD. In his books he questions whether ADHD is a purely negative thiung or rather a different brain makeup that make some things hard and other things easy. I know taht I find it easy to concentrate when there is tremendous levels of chaos and excitement or if I am under tremendous pressure. Its when thinsg ar emore settled that I struggle. Interuppt driven work suits me much better than longer term project work.
Hallowell is very pro-,med. he is also pro other treaments in addition. For me just meds is not enough. Exercise, having an ADHD coach are also crucial.
