Study suggest that cataracts increase the risk of dementia through vascular and non-AD mechanisms; treating or preventing cataracts may reduce dementia risk.

High Doses of ADHD Drug Can Cause Serious Side Effects, Study Warns : ScienceAlert

Adderall is an effective treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD), but a sharp rise in US prescriptions over the past two decades has sparked concerns among researchers about rare but serious side effects.

In a striking new study published Thursday, a team led by psychiatrist Lauren Moran of Mass General Brigham in Boston found that individuals taking high doses of the stimulant face more than a fivefold increased risk of developing psychosis or mania.

Key factors include the lack of upper dosing guidelines and the notable increase in young adults using the medicine since the Covid-19 pandemic, driven in large part by the rise of telemedicine providers.
