Interesting take on this, Zak. Thanks for sharing. Your piece about your
wife was deeply moving, and I’m sorry to hear that that’s happened - I
can’t imagine. I’ll have to listen to the YouTube video on the way home
from the gym today. Personally, I have not been on top of this issue other
than having a general awareness that Peterson was suffering from withdrawal
symptoms from taking his prescribed dosage. Clearly, as a society, we need
to take much caution in prescribing medication. The study that I work on
full-time uses Adderall XR in half of parents, which has raised lots of
concern amongst our participatory stakeholder group, as well as within our
affiliated community clinics.

I appreciate this insight, and hope to learn more about these topics.

Best,

Cole
