stimulant medication

Stimulant medications are drugs that increase activity in the brain and nervous system, helping to improve focus, attention, and energy levels. They are commonly used to treat conditions like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. These medications work by boosting certain chemicals (like dopamine and norepinephrine) that help regulate attention and alertness. While they can be effective, they also have potential side effects such as increased heart rate, appetite suppression, and difficulty sleeping. It's important they are taken under medical supervision to ensure safe and appropriate use.
