92. ADHD: Pills, Profits, and Pushback w/ Gretchen LeFever Watson PhD

I am re-releasing one of my favorite earlier conversations with Gretchen LeFever Watson, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist whose research and intervention projects have received international scholarly and media attention, including appearances on TV and radio programs. Dr. Watson was among the first to document drug overtreatment for ADHD in the U.S. and to demonstrate that disruptive conduct can be successfully reduced through school wide behavioral interventions. In her paper, she chronicles the personal and professional attacks she experienced as a result of challenging industry interests. This serves as a testament to the potential hindrance of pioneering research and the adverse effects it can have.MUST READ: Shooting the Messenger: The Case of ADHD | SpringerLinkDr Gretchen WatsonIf you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.
