Having discussed several important Woozles that have inhabited the Hundred Acre Wood of ADHD for decades, it is important to remember there are countless Woozles in the larger “Thousand Acre Wood” of psychiatry and medicine. As we evaluate evidence for our interventions, whether psychopharmacologic or psychotherapeutic, we will do well to relentlessly question the “evidence” for our choices and in doing so strive to be like wise Christopher Robin rather than Winnie-the-Pooh.
