Some data shows that roughly 2-7% of children are diagnosed with ADHD in their adolescence, and about half of these individuals continue treatment for ADHD in their adult years. ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) is one of the most common neurodevelopment disorders of childhood and can cause people to struggle with impulsive behaviors, paying attention, etc. A new phenomenon on TikTok reveals that many young women who take ADHD medication regularly are realizing that their Adderall or Vyvanse simply hasn't been working lately. They speculate that there is something fishy going on in the pharmaceutical world.
