The rest of the video will include my opinions and commentary of what I feel is a growing epidemic in America, the Stimulant Epidemic. Topics covered will include:
*The fact that America has a disproportionate amount of the contribution to ADHD diagnoses across the globe.
*Discussing the problematic way that the mental health field approaches diagnosing ADHD
*Other factors that are likely contributors to the growing over use and misuse of stimulants.
Share your thoughts on this complex topic.

I wouldnt touch one of those stimulant Rxs with a ten foot pole. EVERYONE has adhd these days. Its all about the $$$. I know its not fair, but I dont believe hardly anyone who says they have ADHD these days. Once you've been around someone who really has it, you'll know what it looks like, and you realize 90% of people don't have it.
I've been on stimulants for the last 35 years. I'm sure it's being overprescribed but, do something about that specifically. Don't make it harder for people who actually need them to get them.
I don’t think we should make it harder for those who really need them. The reality is, not appropriately diagnosing it and overprescribing it for people who don’t truly have ADHD is already making it harder for those who have it to access their treatments, and also raises skepticism and scrutiny for those who truly have it as well. We need to improve diagnostic methods, make testing more affordable and accessible as at least one part of the solution.
The legitimacy of ADHD is diluted and not as respected when it's being over prescribed to people who do not have it or need it.

Problem is even the best SSRIs only have 50% success rate. Even then they don't help with attention. So if your the 50% you gotta do something.
Teachers are the worst to promote ADHD for children that act like children
Very important issue
Behind ADHD diagnosis there is a multimillion dollar market
I would go as far as saying multibillion dollar industry.
I do prescribe adderall. I appreciate your input.
Sir, can I ask you an important question about my serious sleep problem this is all about my severe insomnia since you are a certified psychiatrist I can see it in your own website because I can't sleep anymore without taking Clonazepam with a brand name called Rivotril that I used to take It's been 15 years since I started taking this tablet and my dosages have increased now, more often I did not follow the correct dosages and when to take this medicine everytime that I have a serious personal problem on me my anxiety,depression,nervousness and my chest begin to tight and I have trouble breathing all of this things will follow and that's the time I will take 1 or sometimes 2 tablet in a row on some severe occation at any given time, my number one question is this is there any medication on the market today that will put to an end to the people just like me who are so dependent and keep relying only with this drug and if there is so Sir please share it by replying on this comment as your help to all the people who suffer from this disease and addiction with this drug, that's all and thank you in-advance Doctor Kim. 🙏🖐
73 and no prescriptions. I use green tea as my only stimulant.
Taught english in china for two years... all they ever take is green tea and herbal things. They'll obviously use medicines in a hospital, but at home, they heavily trend herbal on about any ailment. My dad majorly sprained his ankle in Beijing, they put this purely herbal wrap on it, and he said it healed faster than any injury he's had. Just a single story, but its true!

Hi Dr Andrew Kim, I recently emailed you regarding a proposal to design your UA-cam thumbnails. I wanted to see if you had the chance to review it!
