Listen "Episode 90 - ADHD does not exist?"
Episode Synopsis
ADHD IS NOT EXIST? is an homage to a personal hero of mine, Dr. Richard Saul, MD. Dr. Saul was a pediatrician and neurologist who took a controversial stand on the common problem referred to as ADHD — attention deficit hyperactivity disorder — in his 2014 book, “ADHD Does Not Exist: The Truth about Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder.”
Saul understood that his stand would be provocative, but his intent was not to deny the existence of symptoms or the problems children and some adults face — he described 20 in the book — but rather to put the focus on identifying and treating those with the symptoms, and not just lumping them under a black cloud called ADHD.
“With over fifty years of experience,” Saul said in his book, “I’ve concluded that the only way to make long-term progress in eliminating a patient’s ADHD-related symptoms, is to find the cause of these symptoms.”
Saul, 83, died of a heart attack Aug. 14 in his home in downtown Chicago. RIP Dr. Saul. You did great work to improve the future of our children! I promise you I will keep standing on your shoulders! Thank You! Much love, peace and eternal rest!
