Not surprising…students using ADD/ADHD drugs to help them perform better. Probably not a good thing. This shows how badly overwhelmed or overstimulated our population is. We can’t focus on one thing at a time to get it done w/o some drugs. Could it really be 20% of college students using these drugs? There is certainly some dependency risks.
From a blog posting on this:
I got most of my Adderall information from a great article in the New Yorker by Margot Talbot titled Brain Gain: The underground world of neuroenhancing drugs. In it, Sean Esteban McCabe, from the University of Michigan’s Substance Abuse Research Center says that at some universities, up to 20% of the population is using these drugs: “White male undergraduates at highly competitive schools—especially in the Northeast—are the most frequent collegiate users of neuro-enhancers.”
Anjan Chatterjee, a neurologist at the University of Pennsylvania , coined the term “cosmetic neurology” to describe the trend of taking drugs to enhance ordinary cognition. He says, “Many sectors of society have winner-take-all conditions in which small advantages produce disproportionate rewards.”
