Patient's question:
Will taking medication for ADHD make one dumber?Doctor's answer:
It was previously believed that ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a self-limiting childhood condition that can naturally disappear as the child grows older. However, long-term tracking and observation by scholars have revealed that only a portion of children with ADHD can self-recover, while the symptoms of most children can persist into adulthood. ADHD should be treated early. Moreover, individuals with ADHD generally have high intelligence, so the idea that medication can make one stupid is an incorrect explanation, and there is no data to support this claim. Therefore, it is still important to actively treat the condition.
