Amphetamines and ADD

Paper Summary:

Attention Deficit Disorder, commonly referred to as ADD, affects a significant percentage of the population. In recent years, the media has zeroed in on the debates surrounding the use of amphetamines as a treatment option for the disorder, especially for children. This paper examines a research study that discusses the use of amphetamines and the effectiveness of this treatment.

From the Paper:

"The study concluded that dosing once a day with an amphetamine medication may be effective in controlling the symptoms of ADHD.
While the results indicate that the use of amphetamine, in particular Adderall, is useful and effective for the control of symptoms of ADHD, it did not measure the impact that family structure had on the results. Genetic links to ADHD have been proven and it is possible that the success rate was also affected by whether or not the parents are also ADHD and how that affects the family structure, and support of the ADHD child."
