Good theory but what about the clear body based markers like too low stress hormones, this is why medication works so good some patients even sleep better with stimulants they start to relax … I too relax under stimulants my pulse goes down instead up… my heart rate lowers by 4 beats…

My GF came over yesterday to tell me that G Maté is wrong about adhd, and that it is strictly a genetic disorder. This is because she can't handle the guilt about her own kids' adhd issues.
It is a long-held belief that as we developed more information on genetic profiles that we would find genetic components for most diseases, but the actual number of diseases for which we can definitively say it is a genetic component is vanishingly small. Even when there are associations, we still find people with those genes who are asymptomatic. I'm not saying there isn't a genetic component, but the expression of genes and connections to human behaviour is very complex issue and we are left thinking that environment has a far bigger effect than many geneticists would have previously admitted.
I have adhd and while in graduate school becoming a psychotherapist I had a brilliant Native American supervisor. He told me adhd would never be seen as a disorder in his culture. He said it would have been viewed as a gift which could protect the tribe by seeing threats others would never see. It completely changed the way I saw it. Tell her to focus on that….there is no guilt to be felt, every adaptation has silver linings we may not see.
I used to admire Gabor Mate; ever since the Harry interview I have lost faith in his rational. Now I with his blatant disregard for ADHD experiencers and their families I will ignore all that he says. He clearly has not kept up with science and is spewing his personal “wounds” as truth.
