“Stimulants are life changing & already so many people are worried about using them & stigma surrounds them, to frame one person’s story as a critique of this whole class of drugs is highly problematic & irresponsible. Further, another drug he used was Benzos, a drug class well known to cause many many issues for people, yet your reporting said nothing about that at all. His story was compelling & worthy of telling, but the journalist interpretation of it was uninformed & further contributed to false narratives about this class of drugs. Where was the data? The presentation of a most nuanced & complex picture? Highly disappointing to me as a mental health professional & family member to multiple people with ADHD.”
