Adderall On Campus: Use And Abuse (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/02/06/adderall

The United States has four percent of the world’s population, and produces 88 percent of the world’s legal stimulant drugs. Including Adderall, the amphetamine-based drug widely prescribed for ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Impressive numbers.

But visit an American college campus, and really pay attention, and they add up. Lots of young Americans, many with no ADHD, taking Adderall just to focus.

To read. To write. To perform. Now there’s Adderall addiction and suicide in the news, but it’s bigger than that.
This hour, On Point: Adderall everywhere on campus.
-Tom Ashbrook
