Misuse of Prescription Stimulants in Young Adults

In this video, Timothy Wilens, MD, chief of Mass General's Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and co-director of the Center for Addiction Medicine, discusses his research into the misuse and diversion of prescription stimulant medications in young people. He notes patterns and prevalence of stimulant misuse and discusses why this is a matter of concern—10-15% of young people who are prescribed stimulant medication are diverting or misusing these medications and recent data has shown that stimulant use at a young age is predictive of substance use disorders later in life.
