What's to be done now, after a childhood spent under heavy-handed parents with a singular goal of sucking away fun to optimize for college admissions, violent and emotionally abusive punishments, leaving me in a life of executive dysfunction and depression?
Most of the article resonated with me. But I'm not sure I agree with the "ADHD medication is drugging children" part, since I've heard that ADHD medication can (in many cases) help adults who haven't been treated as children put their lives back together. (Sadly I was recently prescribed stimulants, tried them for a bit, and often got anxiety/panic attacks from the pills and caffeine.)
