Ep 858 | The Disturbing Origins of Adderall | Guest: Dr. Roger McFillin (Part Two)
Today we're joined by Dr. Roger McFillin, clinical psychologist and co-host of the "Radically Genuine" podcast, for part two of our discussion on the truth behind ADHD diagnoses and Big Pharma's role in it all. We continue our breakdown of Adderall and other ADHD medications and what the long-term consequences of these drugs might be. We also explain the unexpected origins of ADHD drugs, how they're marketed, and why the pharmaceutical industry has a vested interest in people taking them whether or not they're needed. What other factors contribute to "ADHD symptoms," and how can parents help their kids who may genuinely be struggling with focus and concentration?\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:04) Adderall\n(09:14) Origin of ADHD meds\n(12:17) Other factors contributing to ADHD symptoms\n(20:11) Marketing of ADHD medications\n(27:44) Advice for parents of struggling kids\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nEdenPURE \u2014 when you buy one Thunderstorm you get one FREE, this week only!
