Patient's question:
Will taking medication for ADHD make you dumber?Doctor's answer:
It was previously believed that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a self-limiting childhood condition that can naturally disappear as a child grows older. However, long-term tracking and observation by scholars have revealed that only a portion of ADHD children can self-recover, while the symptoms of most children can persist into adulthood. ADHD should be treated early. Moreover, people with ADHD generally have high intelligence, so it is not correct to say that taking medication makes one stupid, and there is no data to support this claim. Therefore, it is still important to actively treat it.
