The Possible Beneficial Long-Term Impacts of Prescribing Stimulant Medication to Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder within the United States
No full textExamining the long-term impacts of prescribing stimulant-based medication to children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) within the scope of the United States is growing increasingly important. ADHD, typically presented through inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity, has been the leading mental health diagnosis over the past several years. Because of this, it is necessary to explore and raise questions about what a child diagnosed and medicated into adulthood's life will look like years or decades down the road. This brings questions about its long-term effects and pharmaceutical alternatives. This poster pulls statistics, graphics, and facts from a variety of sources to answer the questions of how using stimulant-based drugs such as methylphenidate and amphetamine affects academic performance, behavioral and emotional control, executive functioning, social abilities, and so much more when taken consistently into adulthood. The overall findings of the research poster and the numerous studies used here are that prescribing drugs to children with ADHD has numerous positive, long-term impacts.</p
