Hi QM
>Post Childhood Stimulant Overuse Disorder
Exactly. It worries me that a very large number of people may end up with permanent changes to brain function. Children's brains are still developing when they are given stimulants. I often wonder whether the administration of potent sympathomimetics to such a large proportion of America's children is wise. The cardiovascular toxicity of stimulants is also a concern.
>And they'll inevitably have some sort of pharmaceutical specifically marketed to that condition-- and it will of course be over-prescribed.
Probably an atypical antipsychotic!
