ANDY TURNED OUT is an episode with Andrew Parry who was medicated as a child for ADHD, suggested by his school counselor at the time.
Novartis, the maker of Ritalin had distributed brochures to the schools in the area promoting Ritalin as '...making kids normal again'. Andrew's mother Sue Parry (Episode 10 - Saving Andy) decided to take Andy off of the prescribed medication when he started to have severe side effects.
In this episode, Andrew shares his experience growing up with having been labeled with ADHD and medicated with the stimulant drug Ritalin.
Today, Andrew is a successful entrepreneur and is the founder of the Seattle Pomade Company as well as the co-founder of Resonant Botanicals. He also loves to cook and he has recently gotten engaged.
In short: Andy turned out, didn't he!
