FAA Medical Denial for ADHD
ADHD or ADD when a pilot was a child can still impact them today. A prescription of Adderall or Ritalin in school to cope with it is catching up to them.

In this episode, join us at The Pilot Lawyer Podcast to discuss what to do if you are impacted—either currently or in the past with ADHD or ADD and how to appeal the FAA's decisions. Remember, everything is possible if you have a trusted, legal advisor.
