A recent study shows that the upsides of ADHD medication outweigh the slight increase in blood pressure and heart rate seen in some children.
While careful monitoring is necessary, the positive effects on academic performance, mental health, and even long-term health are significant.
This research confirms that the benefits, such as reduced risk of mortality and improved cognitive function, substantially outweigh the minor risks.
Therefore, for most children with ADHD, the medication provides a positive benefit-risk profile that aids in overall well-being.
