New Study Shows Early Ritalin May Cause Long-term Effects On The Brain

New Study Shows Early Ritalin May Cause Long-term Effects On The Brain

Ritalin is a generic medication prescribed for children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition that consists of a persistent pattern of abnormally high level of activity, impulsivity, and/or inattention.


I strongly believe in the cause/effect element of the human body. If a chemical is over or under produced it has a primary cause for this behavior. Medicating only helps relieve symptoms but does little in curing the original problem, the cause. So much of the medication avialbale today have little in term of long life studies. Due to pharmisutical fast-tracking, I'm sure the drug industry is going to swell with new issues due to the drugs they create produce in this manner.
