<description><![CDATA[For may years, Ritalin and Adderall have been the most common treatment for ADHD symptoms. It is widely accepted that children who suffer from attention deficit disorder have an "inborn defect" which makes them different from supposedly "normal" children; as a result, central nervous system stimulants such as Ritalin have a "paradoxical effect" (the theory goes) upon them, calming them down and helping them to focus rather than exciting them. In a recent article from the New York Times, Dr. Alan Sroufe of Minnesota's Institute for Child Development disputes this theory and shows that these drugs had exactly the same effect on radar operators during World War II; he also found that "all children, whether they had attention problems or not, responded to stimulant drugs the same way." ]]></description>

The unconscious mind cures a mental illness by helping you find balance through forgiveness, understanding, humbleness, and compassion.
