Article Abstract:
The most popular medicines for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are widely abused, and although 'abuse-proof' alternatives are increasingly becoming available, they are not as effective as the addictive medicines. However, psychosocial stimulants are still the best available drugs for quelling common ADHD symptoms such as inattention and hyperactivity.
