Am I the a**hole for telling my girlfriend to go back on her ADHD medication? (with Dr. David Nathan)

This weekly podcast comes to you from Veritas Psychology Partners, Dr. Dan Kessler and Dr. Gayle MacBride. Your host selects a conversation from the internet forums that neither psychology has heard or read before, and they give their unrehearsed, unvarnished opinions--essentially answering the question, "just who is the asshole here?" The host brings in feedback from internet commentors to round out the discussion, and we close out each episode with a bonus conversation about what ever happens to be on their mind. Sometimes something from their mailbag.

Today, they are joined by Dr. David Nathan. David Nathan is a Licensed Psychologist who lives and works in St. Paul, MN. He is the father of twin 12-year-old daughters. He is primarily a child and adolescent psychologist. He works with clients on issues including ADHD, Autism, Anger Management, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and adoption. He is the east region lead for outpatient mental health at Allina Health, a large healthcare organization based in Minneapolis, MN. He also has a side private practice where he provides ADHD and ASD testing in St. Paul, MN. In the rare moments when he is not being a parent or a psychologist, Dr. Nathan likes to travel, attend live music performances, read, spend time with his friends and family, and play piano.
