For context: Dr. Gabor Maté is a world-renowned medical doctor, who runs a family practice (as a GP) and a specialist in childhood development and trauma. He has written multiple best-selling books on the topic. However, his views on ADHD (first published in 1999 and recently resurfaced in multiple podcast interviews) are often disputed by experts on the subject.<p>Dr. Russell Barkley is a retired neuropsychologist and clinical professor of psychiatry specializing in ADHD. He is one of the world's leading experts on the subject. This is his video, debating/debunking Dr. Maté's claims about ADHD.
This kind of stuff (Matè) makes it hard for me to maintain composure. Especially Barkley==Ciba Geigy shill falsehoods. Barkley continues to clearly show overwhelming evidence of the existence, severity, and genetic basis of ADHD.
