Is it correct that many parents “dope” their children with Ritalin?
Due to the effects and the way methylphenidate works doping is impossible. Either you have ADHD/SRD or have not. Methylphenidate helps only people with the disorder to gain desired changes, because as I already mentioned in the section methylphenidate therapy, only an optimal dosage makes you aware of yourself and your problems. Most important, with an over- or an under-dosage ADHD symptoms arise.
