N2  - Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which usually occurs in childhood or adolescence, is also a common diagnosis among college or university students. These students may find it difficult to achieve success in the university without the help of anti-ADHD medications that allow them to concentrate. The widespread use of anti-ADHD stimulants within this group has led to the problem of students abusing such medications. Research also notes a growing phenomenon characterized by the misuse of medication among students with and without ADHD. This discussion reviews current research on this growing situation and provides recommendations to curtail it. © 2012 by Walter de Gruyter · Berlin · Boston.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
