After losing all my life up to my late 20’s due to this unknown condition, I finally found relief with ADHD stimulants. What was causing the time-blindness that allowed hours, days, and eventually years slip by me? What was the reason why coffee made me fall asleep when everyone was relying on it to wake up? Why did I just not have the motivation to do things I LOVED and was eager to do for weeks? Sorry but even in the age of people claiming to be ADHD for the “quirkiness” of it, people don’t realize how much it ruins lives. The lack of executive function led to the spiral of depression and suicidal ideation and poverty. Taking Wellbutrin (an antidepressant) only made things worse. It wasn’t until taking trying stimulants that I found out what it’s like to have a calm mind and energy to do things that I’ve otherwise put off for months. Quite frankly, it’s embarrassing that a doctor would put out a book like this while being so ignorant of the real issues it causes. But you wouldn’t know the experience unless you lived in our shoes. I’m grateful that many people have seen passed the harmful claim that he tries to make through this book.
