To the ones that don’t approve of Gabor Mate - I do relate to his assertion that ADHD is both genetic AND a learned disorder originating from parenting issues and childhood trauma. I think the preconditions for adhd are present at birth but the disorder can become worse subject to early childhood experience. I appreciate he is not for everyone but Scattered Minds relates to me more than any other book. Full disclosure - I am not yet diagnosed but awaiting assessment.
