Attention Deficit Disorder and Blog of the Week: Adult ADD Strengths
This week’s featured blog is Adult ADD Strengths written by Pete Quily, an Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Coach in Vancouver BC, Canada. I didn’t even know there was such a position, but I think it’s great!
Pete has an amazing blog all about living with ADD as an adult. It’s active and chock full of information. Last week, Pete dissected the role of the FDA in approving ADHD stimulant medication:
What a dog and pony show.
First the FDA has a committee that did a report in Feb 2006 that calls for a black box warning for ADD stimulant meds by an 8 to 7 margin over concerns that stimulants may be linked to heart problems in kids. Unfortunately they provided no evidence that showed that people who take ADD stimulant medication have a higher degree of cardiac problems vs. what’s called the background rate, namely, what’s the incidence of the same problem in the general population.
Adult ADD Strengths is one of the best health blogs I’ve seen in a long time. Well done, Pete!
