Episode 04.30.2025 - The ADD/ADHD Pandemic

SUMMARY

In this week’s episode of The Dr. Ardis Show, "The ADD/ADHD Epidemic", Dr. Ardis confronts the alarming rise of ADD/ADHD, impacting 7 million U.S. children (11%, CDC 2022) and 8.7 million adults. Dr. Ardis uncovers why diagnoses are surging—pointing to COVID-19’s disruption of structure, cognitive dysfunction from long COVID, and heightened social media awareness—and exposes the dark side of mainstream treatments. Ritalin, a common stimulant, carries a black box warning for addiction and overdose, with 45% of users developing infections or infestations, 30% facing psychiatric disorders (e.g., anxiety, schizophrenia), 25% experiencing gastrointestinal issues (e.g., Crohn’s, IBS), and 23% nervous system disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s, MS). Strattera increases suicidal ideation in short-term studies, plus heart rate issues and erectile dysfunction in 21% of users. Dr. Ardis offers hope with natural, research-backed solutions: Vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, inositol, iodine, and B12 improve focus, reduce hyperactivity, and ease anxiety without harmful side effects.
