In recent years, an increasing number of middle and high school students are misusing prescription ADHD medications, with a University of Michigan study indicating that one in four are abusing stimulants., including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. However, many students are turning to these medications to enhance their academic performance, increase their ability to focus, and stay awake for longer periods of time.
