Pills Don’t Teach Skills

Very interesting article today in the Vancouver Sun, focusing on the lack of medical resources to help treat Adult ADHD. A few article points include:
- The disorder is costing more than $500 million a year in health, education and justice system costs
- “We want the government to have a treatment strategy for dealing with this as a public health issue.”
- People with undiagnosed ADHD are also more likely to commit crimes, abuse drugs or alcohol, and have unplanned pregnancies, according to a report released in February by the BCMA.
