We respond to the backlash from Take Your Pills, the new documentary on Netflix that addressing issues of stimulant use and abuse, as well as performance-enhancing drugs. The film has created quite a stir in the ADHD community. Very soon we will be doing a deeper dive into the film, but for now, we would like to offer some tips about how we can react in an intentional way to films like this. For many of us, the film is/was triggering, creating unpleasant feelings. How we choose to respond can make all the difference. Either stimulating (pun intended) productive conversations and dialogue or leading to more suffering, stereotyping and re-stigmatization.

We, like many of you out there are having a mix of feelings about this documentary. We would like to hear from you? How are you feeling about this documentary? Please use the I like, I wish, I feel framework in your response. Post your comments on our YouTube page.
