The Dark Side of Adderall and Other Study Drugs DVD
Grades 7-12.
When used under a doctor’s guidance, Adderall, Ritalin, and similar medications can be effective in controlling ADHD, but these drugs are increasingly being abused by those wanting extra energy and focus. This video follows Randy, a young man with no history of ADHD who began abusing Adderall in high school and now relies on it to enable him to work days at a time as a handyman. Commentary is provided by a child and adolescent psychiatrist and by a psychiatrist with the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program. 15 minutes. Copyright 2014.
