You know what ADHD is. (Not everything about it. Yet. Not by a long shot.)
But we have a good idea of what it is. So, my question is: what would you say is the opposite of ADHD?
After pondering that question, I’ve found a lot of people say Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. That’s what I thought for a long time.
Many of the college students who are not ADHD and were abusing ADHD medication, are doing so to get better grades.
Cause they think it will help them focus, learn better, be more alert.
Can we talk about substance abuse?
Specifically abusing ADHD medication.
I’ve never actually had anyone ask me to lend them some of my medication. (How do you lend someone medication? Don’t you mean give? Cause I can’t see a pill being a ‘loaner’ that I’d want back afterwards.) But when my son was at university, taking an incredibly challenging course called Physics-Engineering, fellow students, non-ADHD students, approached him about getting a leg up with one of his magic pills.
