My Story of taking ADHD medication since I was a kid - RITALIN AND CONCERTA
Opinions about Ritalin and other ADHD meds are very polarised. Here are my thoughts and experiences with trying different forms of Methylphenidate aka Ritalin or Concerta throughout my childhood right into adulthood. What have your experiences been? Let me know in the comments.
⚠️ WARNING: Mention of un-aliving thoughts ⚠️

ADHD and Heart Disorders:
There is an article I found after I filmed and edited this episode. In the future I will make a dedicated video specifically on this because it's a little more complex. Findings:
"Adults with ADHD are at greater risk of developing a range of cardiovascular diseases than those without the condition. [...] Treatment with stimulants and other psychiatric drugs, such as antidepressants and anxiety-reducing medication, did NOT materially affect the association between ADHD and cardiovascular disease."

⚠️DISCLAIMER: I do not agree with the majority of how ADHD medications are portrayed in this documentary. I am only using it as a source of where I heard the Rita-line story.
