Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help in School

By ALAN SCHWARZ

Published: October 9, 2012

CANTON, Ga. — When Dr. Michael Anderson hears about his low-income patients struggling in elementary school, he usually gives them a taste of some powerful medicine: Adderall.

The pills boost focus and impulse control in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Although A.D.H.D is the diagnosis Dr. Anderson makes, he calls the disorder “made up” and “an excuse” to prescribe the pills to treat what he considers the children’s true ill — poor academic performance in inadequate schools.

“I don’t have a whole lot of choice,” said Dr. Anderson, a pediatrician for many poor families in Cherokee County, north of Atlanta. “We’ve decided as a society that it’s too expensive to modify the kid’s environment. So we have to modify the kid.”

Are We Too Shallow About Drugs to Truly Help Vets With PTSD?

by Kevin Bell

Researcher, Army Veteran

Seven months ago, PFC Sonny Mazon opened my eyes to the tragic link between depression, drugs, incarceration, and suicide in the military community.

I had been so naïve. Of course, during the deployment many of us swapped stories of comrades abusing prescription drugs like Ambien while overseas, and I had a vague sense that this would get worse when my platoon returned home in 2009. Even so, I never expected that almost 2 years after I left the Army I would still be receiving tragic news about my soldiers, their families, and the ending that awaits those who never get the help they need.

Alpha-Stim in Australia

 A video from the Australian division of Alpha-Stim.  In Australia, Alpha-Stim is sold over-the-counter. Why it is still a prescription device in the U.S. has more to do with politics of our medical system than it does a realistic account of the safety and benefits of cranial electrical stimulation.

“We can sell Alpha-Stim® technology over-the-counter in every nation but the USA. We have introduced the Alpha-Stim® SCS initially in Europe, Canada, and Australia, and we are beginning to market it in Asia and most of the rest of the world. The product is safer than aspirin, so there is no reason Alpha-Stim® technology shouldn’t be sold over-the-counter. Unfortunately, the regulatory process in the United States is so expensive and difficult that I don’t see that happening here in the near future."
