Updated ADHD Diagnosing Practices and Finding a Good Doctor

Imagine walking into the emergency room with chest pains. The doctor asks you a few questions and rushes you in for bypass surgery based on how things appear without ever running a test. Would you be comfortable with this? Wouldn’t you rather have the doctor run some tests to confirm you don’t have GERD or another condition unrelated to your heart? In this episode host Jeff Copper interviews Dr. Charles Parker, the author of “ADHD Medication Rules: Paying Attention to the Meds for Paying Attention.” In the show Jeff and Dr. Parker discuss the outdated ADHD diagnostic practice and look at science today. The two will also talk about strategies around how to find a physician who is both knowledgeable and current in the field of ADHD. For those wanting current information, this is a must-listen show.
