to treat adhd may increase the risk of future substance abuse. a recent study shed some light on that question. here to talk about the findings is psychiatrist dr. joshua weiner. what are the results? >> this study looked at 3 million teenagers and adults and what they found is that taking these medications decreases the likelihood of having a substance abuse problem by anywhere from 20% to 30%. >> so what are your thoughts about this? >> it does make sense to me. there are a few things. number one, this is about the 12th study that i'm aware of that has examined this issue, and all but one of them has shown that taking medication has a protective effect against future substance abuse. so this falls in line with that. now, i think it makes some sense when you think about it, because people with adhd that is untreated have a much higher risk of using substances, and the reason disappoints. they're not doing as well in school, they're hanging with the wrong crowd, they're constantly or frequently more likely to get in trouble so all of those things

. says it could kill children who suffer from adhd.bout. yes. but you read that, surely you would not want a child watching a violent movie. but if you peel away the layers of our expectation perception, the research shows that if you have a good social structure, for example, violent video games do not make you anti—social. there's little link between it and violence and, in light of the arrests over the acid attacks that you were talking about, if you are looking at teenagers being involved, it is easy for people to say, or it is video games which are making people behave that way. it is quite dangerous to draw that comparison between the two. but that comparison between the two. but thatis that comparison between the two. but that is a balance here. the professor from the university of buckingham says, research tends to be exactly the opposite. we have to be exactly the opposite. we have to be careful. yes, often these results, can be very much dictated by the size of the sample. some people with a big sample another‘s with a smalle

the psychiatrist responsible for over diagnosing children with adhd received $1.6 million for the manufacturersugs used to treat it. the whole thing stinks. perhaps none of the swampy behavior is a disgraceful as the pharmaceutical industry's role in the opioid epidemic which killed 52000 americans last year. the health crisis is so bad it starting trying to drive life expectancy down in the us. for most of the last century the terrible addiction that opioids cause meant that they were shunned as a treatment for pain but that all changed in the 1990s when a large-scale lobbying and public relations effort to make opioids acceptable. part of it was run by a nonprofit, the american pain foundation. sounds nice, right? and nonprofit focused on reducing pain. except the organization was basically a fronts for big pharma. it received 90% of its funding from medical companies, some of their board members have extensive financial ties to drug makers and the group lobbies against limits on of your use. the most commercially successful of the new opioids is actually content. it was released in 1996 by p
