  • From what I have heard, it is a well known cycle. Inattentiveness causes a patient to have productivity issues which leads to depression. The depression caused anxiety when asked to perform. The anxiety is distracting and leads to productivity issues. It is a self perpetuating spiral.

    From what I understand, the only way to find the root cause is to figure out what started first and/or trying to treat one after another until you find which one the patient responds best to. In some countries, stimulants (to treat ADHD) are more controlled than antidepressants, so it is possible that your doctor first needs to make sure that an antidepressant will not help you before they can justify trying a stimulant.

    Like you, I am caught up in the cycle. After years of my doctors trying treatments, we found a solution that works for me: a stimulant that makes my inattention a bit more manageable and therapy to slowly break the cycle.


















  • It is troubling that Haliburton gets back from 16 months away from basketball and immediately starts having injury issues. I would assume that he recovered from his Achilles injury at the end of last season but, since the team was already tanking, he took his time working himself back into shape over the last 6 months.

    Did he spend the last 16 months confined to bed rest and go straight from the hospital to training camp? Was the plan for him to play himself back into shape?
