My opinion is that is ADHD drugs being overdiagnosed. Kids have been using ADHD drugs for a while. They aren’t bad for kids or tennagers . They help kids to be less disruptive at school and home.

ADHD affects over seventy five percent of children in America. Studies have shown that some believe these children are over medicated. Knowing someone with ADHD can impact how one feels about medicating. A classmate who is affected was doing a project in class and looked pale tired and unhealthy.

In today’s world ADHD is becoming more of a thing or a problem now than it was in years past. People now days may not be as informed about this condition as people should be.
