Another excellent podcast by Dr. Ghaemi. In short, "adult ADD" (or "ADHD") does not exist, i.e., it is not a scientifically validated diagnosis. Amphetamine drugs only worsen the problem, which is often actually a disorder of mood or mood temperament.

It's your daily reminder that 1351 patients were able to have their depression end in 30 days or less, not just get 50% better. The treatment didn't involve medication. It's brain stimulation, non-invasive, FDA approved, and that should be the biggest news on earth

Mental illness doesn’t cause shootings. But ignoring human suffering, loneliness, rage, sadness, and making it extremely easy for those feelings to efficiently become dead children with incredible tools like an AR15 …might be related.

This paper represents the largest data set I've ever been a co-author on. 1351 patients with treatment resistant depression were treated, with dTMS instead of more meds. 65% of them are in remission or more at the end of 30 treatments. That's a month.
