Does ADHD exist?

In an article on Time.com, Dr. Richard Saul, a behavioral neurologist, suggests that ADHD, as popularly understood in today's society, does not exist. Certainly controversial, his perspective is worth considering. I happen to agree that ADHD is frequently misunderstood and misdiagnosed. In my practice, I encourage parents to seek second (or more) opinions before medicating their children for ADHD. I likewise encourage adults with an ADHD diagnosis to consider a second medical opinion and/or treatments to reduce or eliminate the need for medication.

An exaggeration, but probably true all too often...

Speed Reading

A software company called Spritz has developed technology and an app that enables you to read remarkably fast. You can read about it, and even try out the technology, here.

(And no, this is not a compensated endorsement. I ran across this on another blog, thought it was cool, and decided to share it here. Check it out!)

Step outside this Spring Break!
