Why do teenagers abuse ADHD/ADD drugs?
If a teenager is being prescribed ADHD/ADD drugs, what would cause them to start to abuse their medication? Is it to do better in school? To “feel good”? Their doctor, who is prescibing too little or too much medication?
My guess is that it could be a combination of four things:
1) Addictive personalities: I truly believe there are some people that for some reason would abuse chewing on pocket-lint if it tasted good once.
2) Ignorance: These teens do not understand medication and drugs and how they work and do what they do so they have no caution with them. They do not look up what it does to their system, how it works, what are the side effects and what are the withdrawal symptoms. Ask anyone taking a drug what LD50 is for that drug and see how many blank stares you get.
3) Monkey-See-Monkey-Do: They see someone else do this so they think it is OK for them to do it. This is immaturity.
4) No “Risk” system: I think I saw this on Dr. Phil that they mapped teenagers brains and the place we keep our adult “Risk” system hasn’t fully developed for them. These are the humans you will see using a skateboard to ride a rail that ends in the street on a blind curb! They do not have the ability to guess at what is going to happen in the future if they do this.
