P.S. – Drug abuse and alcoholism frequently occur in those with ADHD. They try to self-medicate with these things (and with caffeine, and with risk-taking behaviour). By getting proper treatment for ADHD, with properly prescribed and monitored medication, they don’t feel the need to self-medicate, so the risk of drug abuse and alcoholism is actually greatly reduced.
