They worry about stunted growth, and risks of substance abuse and addiction. One of the biggest concerns is that powerful stimulants might cause some form of permanent brain damage. We do have evidence that abuse of methamphetamine, and of cocaine are associated with neuroinflammation and loss of brain cells. Rodent research has shown similar types of damage from methylphenidate and amphetamine. But those studies looked at dosages that entered the brain much more quickly and at higher levels than from therapeutic oral doses of prescription stimulants. Numerous short term studies show that the immediate effects of stimulants are to normalize aberrant patterns of activation in the brains of those with ADHD. More than thirty long-term studies have found an association between long-term use of stimulants by children and adults with ADHD and brains that appear more like the brains of those without ADHD than do the brains of individuals with ADHD who never took medication. Rather than damaging brains, the current evidence suggests that depriving your ADHD child of effective medication may increase the likelihood of persistent problems from ADHD. ----- Free link to my Medium Article on Stimulants and the Brain: https://medium.com/wise-well/do-stimu...

Subscribe if you're curious about how neuro-atypical brains can optimize their functioning in our shared, and somewhat strange, world. Dr. Kruse has posted talks in both the "live" and the "video" sections of this channel. Thumbnails on ADHD topics have a pink background, and those on more general mental health topics have a purple background. A small collection of ADHD-Trump videos have an orange background.
