I gave a link to a website on mental health help led by American MDs. One of the controversies around ADHD is that there is an opinion that it's overdiagnosed among kids. There was also a spike in diagnosing it in the UK and the US. There are plenty of counterarguments—for instance, that it's...

I know firsthand [edited out], and my partner has ADHD. That's the reason I've been reading a lot about these conditions. These are not my personal claims. As for Russians and retalin, it is banned in Russia. I dislike Rodnina, but I agree with her claim. Russians should surely learn the system...

Ritalin is banned in some countries, but I don't know about Japan. ADHD is itself a highly controversial diagnosis.

A quick Google search for "sports performance anxiety treatment with antidepressants" returns the names of pills, in case you're curious. There are also stories about how these pills help athletes. I'm talking about anxiety, not depression. There are specific antidepressants for treating...

Perhaps because they are invited as individuals and not as club/national team members? Just guessing. In my area of work, it works like this: you cannot use your affiliation, but you can, let's say, participate in an event as an individual. I doubt some left-wing Americans working in a public...

Interesting. I wonder how widespread AD use in figure skating is, as it definitely can regulate performance anxiety. Not talking about the Russian team anyway, as mental health care in Russia is nascent.

Indeed, more TEs. There wouldn't be any scandal if they had a better understanding of the system for getting TEs. How different would Kolyada's career be had he taken some antidepressants that would have allowed him to focus. For context: ADHD in Russia was nonexistent as a medical diagnosis...

Who else does it affect among the top contenders? As we know, the US has a problem with the culture of grooming in pair skating. It is caused by many things, including the large age gaps between pair ladies and pair men. This decision to increase the age limit for women, which was initiated as a...

Have you read the post I was answering? Please do, and you'll figure out what the argument was and why. The answer to your question is obviously yes: people of different nations, including high-profile figure skaters from various nations - such as France, Spain, and the USA, got caught. Some...

Thank you for the clarification. I returned to the source article and also found the following bit: "In June, Calalang's attorney, Howard Jacobs, informed Calalang that there were potential changes in rules relating to 4-CPA that were being voted on at the end of September. If those new rules...

Maybe some nations just know their way around it, that's why? Just recently, Jessica Calalang was cleared, as she managed to prove that the forbidden substance was suddenly in her lotion or makeup that she always used. Norwegians don't have many figure skaters, but Norwegian skiers are notorious...

Sure. Nothing happened in 2008, and nothing happened in 2014 either. I don't expect any empathy, because it's not the right time or place. My post was an answer to a concrete question, in case the author is really interested in knowing the answer and not just channeling their anger at random...

Once again, since 2011.

Whatever.
