regarding antipsychotic drugs used to treat school-aged children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The distribution of these ADHD medications have steadily increased over the years, which has, on one hand, presented a possible solution to the escalating diagnosis of <a href='/topics/attention' style='color:#3174a3'>Attention</a> Deficit/<a href='/topics/hyperactivity' style='color:#3174a3'>Hyperactivity</a> Disorder, and on the latter, brought into question the ethics and effectiveness of these medications.

This could potentially cause serious health complications and in some cases death. The last of the rare yet severe side effects implicated by ADHD medications is known as “abnormal involuntary movements”. These uncontrolled muscle movements are “more common with old antipsychotics than new-generation antipsychotics, which lead to problems participating in normal social and educational activities” (Science Daily). Even though this particular side effect is rare and often only seen when children use the antipsychotic drug, Risperdone (used for the treatment of Schizophrenia), it is necessary that the general public be warned. Overall, the main concerns regarding ADHD medications stem from the possible side effects as well as the potential threat of long lasting damage. Little research provides positive feedback for the long-term use of antipsychotic prescriptions. “There is evidence that coincides with the use of neuroleptic and other psychotropic medications making long-term, if not permanent, changes in brain structure</p></span></div><div class="paper__gradient paper__gradient--bottom"></div><div class="center paper__cta"><a class="button text-m button--orange" id="ShowMoreButton" rel="nofollow" data-href="/writing/document/F3X6TXA8CKDW">Get Access</a></div></div></div></div><div class="columns large-4 hide-for-medium-only hide-for-small-only"><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar"></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar_1"></div></div></div><div class="row essay-preview-block essay-related-block "><div class="columns large-12 padding-1 no-padding-large"><div class="columns large-12 paper--related-separator-new"><span class="paper--related-separator-word">Related</span></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_related"></div><section class=""><ul id="RelatedDocumentCenter" class="unstyled"><li id="related-essay1"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Anesthetizing-Our-Youth-a-Commentary-on-Over-FKDZT84JDM6S" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Anesthetizing Our Youth a Commentary on Over Medicating for ADHD</h2></a><ul><li>591 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Anesthetizing-Our-Youth-a-Commentary-on-Over-FKDZT84JDM6S" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Anesthetizing Our Youth a Commentary on Over Medicating for ADHD</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">“ADHD is the most extensively studied pediatric mental health disorder, yet controversy and public debate over the diagnosis and medication treatment of the disorder continue to exist.” (Connor D., P.1, 2011) Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often a debated subject when the method of treatment is being discussed because it has become a trending issue to over medicate children with ADHD.

This disorder is characterized by difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior and hyperactivity. In children, the long term effects of psychotropic medications are unknown and lead to a number of precipitating factors. Choosing the right medication, dose and treatment plan should be based on each child’s individual needs and situation. Some of the medications used to manage symptoms of ADHD are Ritalin and Adderall. These two drugs have been around for a while; however, Vyvanse, Strattera, and Concerta are new drugs that have been proven to help with ADHD symptoms.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>594 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Ritalin-And-Adderall-A-Case-Study-PJX7MSWLXT">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay3"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Hidden-Dangers-of-ADHD-Medication-F32DYRJTJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay on Hidden Dangers of ADHD Medication</h2></a><ul><li>1014 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Hidden-Dangers-of-ADHD-Medication-F32DYRJTJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay on Hidden Dangers of ADHD Medication</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after"> Medication for ADHD can cause a great deal of overdose for children that have ADHD.

Doctors prescribe lots of medication which can be avoided, when children are properly diagnosed with certain health problems. Attention - deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has impacted many people with the danger of certain medications which is overprescribed to all ages each year. The hidden dangers of the medications these doctors are prescribing, is that our children are being misdiagnosed with ADHD at a very early age, and this is causing many different side effects. Long term use of these medications can cause severe side effects. The most commonly prescribed drugs, are Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta, which cause children to have nervousness, appetite suppression, insomnia and increased blood pressure and heart problems.

Up until the 1990’s children who were restless just needed physical activity, and children who were not paying attention in class were daydreaming. Presently, however, these same children are being diagnosed with ADD or Depression. They are being treated for these imagined ill-states of mental health with medicine that they do not need. More children today suffer from the side effects of the medication more so than the ‘condition’ itself. A few things to consider before allowing a child to be prescribed behavioral medication are ensuring a true diagnosis, exploring safe non-drug alternatives, and knowing the risks of behavioral medication for our children.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>675 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Behavioral-Medication-and-Children-with-ADD-FKC89EJ8B6A">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay6"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/The-Role-Of-ADHD-In-The-Mayo-4689584304B4A1BD" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Mayo Clinic Essay</h2></a><ul><li>611 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/The-Role-Of-ADHD-In-The-Mayo-4689584304B4A1BD" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Mayo Clinic Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Being able to find answers, and enlightening material without searching through a plethora of biased data can relieve concerns as well as offer hope.

The main reason people believe this medication is overprescribed is because many parents are simply looking for an easy way to quell their child’s hyperactivity. “’Families sometimes feel the need for a quick fix,’ Dr. Gleason said. ‘That’s often the prescription pad. But I’m concerned that when a child sees someone who prescribes but doesn’t do therapy, they’re closing the door that can make longer-lasting change.’” (Wilson, 2010)</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1681 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li><li>5 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Children-Adolescents-Psychotropic-Medication-F3T9A9ZVC">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Adhd-Research-Paper-Argumentative-Essay-P37MVFJTJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Adhd Research Paper (Argumentative Essay)</h2></a><ul><li>5375 Words</li><li>22 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Adhd-Research-Paper-Argumentative-Essay-P37MVFJTJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Adhd Research Paper (Argumentative Essay)</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Over the past couple of decades there has been a huge increase in the diagnosis and prescriptions given out for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

When statistics like this are seen it is only normal for someone to ask questions.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (2014) the most widely used medication is a stimulant. There is a wide variety of stimulants available for ADHD subjects. Although, with these stimulants come side effects including sleep problems, decreased appetite, anxiety and other diverse uncommon side effects (NIMH, 2014). Stimulants tend to calm children with ADHD. However, these medications can be detrimental to the patient in many ways. Certain medications have been subject to abuse, including Adderall and Ritalin. These medications are in some cases abused by patients who are over diagnosed. Since these patients do not have the disorder they can feel the side effects and use the drug to achieve a certain kind of high.
