Basketball player wishes he hadn’t taken ADD meds
January 16th, 2008
From the Los Angeles Times:
At a time when major league baseball players are taking ADD medications in record numbers, LA Clippers center Chris Kaman offers an opposing view. He says he found out recently that he was misdiagnosed with ADD as a child, and wishes he hadn’t spent years taking Ritalin and Adderall.
Kaman says he actually had an anxiety disorder, and is now using neurofeedback to reinforce calm thoughts. He hopes to become a spokesman for children who are misdiagnosed or are looking for another alternative instead of taking medication for hyperactivity.
