You cannot get meds right if you don't *Know How* http://corepsych.com/how - and this example of neurotransmitter denial is the *Single Most Pervasive Piece of Denial* in all of ADHD - See this explanation by Seth Godin: *Don't be a Commodity* - see # 7: https://youtu.be/l3xJ1Msbx30 Reductionistic, label-thinking is out - data-driven biomedical science is in. 

Science works - if you work it.

Make sure you read the comments on this video first - this is *so commonplace internationally* that it's ridiculous. Stay tuned over at http://corebrainjournal.com/adhd101 for more training. 
- Share this wherever you wish - it's documentation for 2 pervasive clinical issues: 
*ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety Diagnostic Complexity & Treatment Challenges.*

ADHD & Depression, ADHD & Anxiety occur together over 80% of the time from my clinical experience - and must be treated simultaneously with clear objectives on both sides. If you miss 50% of the problem you're likely to miss it all due to otherwise predictable medication imbalance issues and treatment failure.

To see the connection between brain science and common sense: evidence matters. This is one of my top three recommended videos for *Starting ADHD/Executive Function Treatment:* http://www.corepsych.com/basic-3

The treatment for these two often comorbid conditions needs careful attention to both of these diagnostic issues: Again, this video discussion, with reference: http://corepsych.com/balance
~ Dopamine - ADHD - products *don't correct serotonin imbalances,* but, on the other hand, *make serotonin challenges worse.* 
~ Serotonin - depression & anxiety - products *don't treat ADHD* effectively, and more often make ADHD *much worse.* Years of experience with my own incorrect diagnostic and dosing strategies strongly encourage more informed treatment strategies.
