JS>That has nothing to do with the case.  You seem to be saying that because 
th
JS>same neurotransmitters are involved in alcoholism and AD(H)D, that the
JS>treatment should be the same.  You are also saying that because alcohol 
as
JS>an adverse effect on a particular problem in which neurotransmitters are
JS>involved, that Ritalin is bad for another problem in which 
neurotransmitters
JS>are involved.  This is not convincing logic.
Convincing logic?  What more do you need?  ADHD IN CHILDREN OF FAMILIES
WITH ALCOHOLISM IS A VARIATION OF THE SAME PROBLEM!
And if you cannot see this, then go ask someone qualified in the
treatment of these families what they think.  Go find the medical
journals connected with the treatment of adolescent addicts and read
them.
They will tell you that the so called character disorders are also in
this same general category of patients.
Do you like seeing children mistreated or what is the basis of your
faulty logic?
