As a person with severe ADHD, who has never taken any medication, I find this study troubling. It uses statistical correlation to indicate causation.

People on ADHD medicine are also going through mental health treatments and get special care and privileges in society. At the same time, the effects of ADHD medication numb their responses and emotions to what seems outwardly stable and normal but deep inside it is an inhibitor of development.

So excuse me for saying so, but I don’t buy into the conclusions of this study at all.
