Suicide trigger warning (& possible spoiler alert). We love Kristen Wiig and enjoyed seeing her acting dramatically for a change. But... I'm a suicide survivor, having lost a brother and a sister to suicides. I'm okay in a movie with attempts and completions~when I'm forewarned. And it's clear in the trailers that this movie begins post-suicide attempt. However, there's another one, unexpected, late in the movie, that shattered me! Had I known and chosen to watch anyway, I'd have been okay. But if you're vulnerable, just be aware that this is coming! BTW, I'm a retired psychotherapist, and it occurs to me that this movie could be well-used in trainings... there's SO much to analyze and speculate about: cause, effects, and possible treatments! Rich!

I'll begin by saying that I did, indeed, read the entire book! I think this book is essential reading for anyone who diagnoses ADHD. I'm a clinician myself, married to a surgeon. We both feel strongly that ADHD has become a catch-all diagnosis from unqualified clinicians, who don't take the time for a differential diagnosis, or make the referrals that should be required! While I believe that Dr. Saul's theory (see the title) is just that, "his theory," there is important information here. When I first read of ADD, in 1982, I had no interest in treating it, as I'd learned to deal with it for 30 years. In my fifties, however, I had a sense that menopause exacerbated the symptoms. I saw an expert, who concurred, and I began taking Adderall, 10 mg, timed-release. The medication has been a godsend for me. Perhaps Dr. Saul would diagnose me as having neurochemical distractibility/impulsivity, but I don't care what it's called. For me, Adderall works.
