A New Documentary About Adults On Adderall — And Not Just For ADHD
Alison Klayman's new film Take Your Pills looks at the pervasiveness of prescription stimulants — Adderall, Ritalin, and others — in college classrooms and workplaces in the U.S.
Stimulant drugs like Adderall and Ritalin are commonly prescribed to kids with what's known as ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. But recently, adults became the biggest users of these drugs.
That's partially because more adults are being diagnosed with ADHD for the first time. But the new Netflix documentary focuses on the use of these drugs to boost cognitive performance in college classrooms and the workplace.
