Hocus Focus: 经历ADD及其药物的成长之年

2023 | English | B0C5FXHF8R | EPUB | 347 pages | 2 MB

When he was seven years old, R.L. Kramer was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. The treatment was stimulant medication.

When he was twenty-three and his prescription ran out, he couldn't secure another one. He was blindsided by a brutal withdrawal that struck him with the reality of what years of amphetamine use had done to his life and what he had to do to move on from taking them.

As he liberated from the grip the medications had on him, he chronicled his experience in Hocus Focus. How it felt as a seven year old to be evaluated, diagnosed, and medicated. How the medications changed him. How much he loved them. He and the amphetamines walked together intermittently through elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and early adulthood. They encouraged him to plan a cross country bicycle documentary, helped him skateboard with all his heart, and create art in a manic fervor. He went deep enough to reveal the dark side of the medication's effect on his body, mind, and governing spirit and eventually heal his addiction and learn to manage his ADD.

Hocus Focus is both a reflection from a member of a generation of kids who experienced childhood and adolescence on drugs for ADD/ADHD, and one person's unique story of growing up on amphetamines.


七岁那年,R.L. 克拉默被诊断出有多动症。治疗方式是刺激药物。

在他二十三岁且药方到期时,他无法再继续使用。他突然遭受了强烈的戒断反应,这让他感受到了滥用苯丙胺多年对生活造成的影响以及自己需要如何从它们的使用中解脱出来。

当他摆脱了药物对其控制后,他在《心灵焦点》一书中记录了他的经历。一个七岁小孩被评估、诊断并用药的感觉;药物是如何改变他;他对它们的喜爱程度。他们之间时断时续地陪伴他度过了小学、中学、高中及早年成年时期,鼓励他计划一部横跨美国的自行车纪录片,帮助他在滑板运动中全力以赴,并在狂热的状态下创作艺术。他曾深入探讨药物对身体、心灵和精神核心的影响的程度,最终治愈了自己的依赖并学会了管理他的多动症。

《心灵焦点》既是经历了一代儿童及青少年时期用药治疗ADD/ADHD的成员们的回忆录,也是一个人独特的故事——他与苯丙胺一起长大。
