                Studies by Dr. Michael Anderson talks about how people with A.D.D (Attention deficient disorder) and A.D.H.D (Attention deficient hyper activity disorder) usually don’t do well in school and he gives them medicine called Adderall to help. What these pills are doing to the young students in elementary is boosting their focus and gives them impulse control.  A quote from a mother who gives her children this medicine is “she can’t thank Dr. Anderson enough for diagnosing A.D.H.D in her children.”  A side effect that is rare is  the medicine is that people hear and see things which may cause very serious problems like in the article the boy who is 10 was in school and hearing things like people talking about his mother so that cause the boy to fight. In my opinion despite the side effect in the medicine Adderall I think if it’s helping kids do better in school and do better at home such as listening to teachers or parents and doing what’s told to do by parent or teachers.
