Ive heard that drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are stimulants. If they e a stimulant, then why do they prescribe them for hyper kids?
“They do fall into the category of ‘stimulant medications’. Those that have the disorder of ADHD have deficiencies and some excesses of those chemical substances that regulate the flow of information from one nerve in the brain to the next. If those that do not have the disorder take a stimulant it will alter those transmitting substances to a point that will cause them to appear ‘hyper’. The same drug in a person with ADHD will modulate those same transmitters to a more ‘normal’ level and allow the person to focus and be attentive.” — Dr.
