Adderall is a prescription medication commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is a combination of two stimulants, amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which work by increasing the availability of certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. This helps to improve focus, concentration, and alertness. For individuals with ADHD, Adderall can be particularly effective in managing symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It helps to enhance cognitive function and reduce disruptive behaviors, allowing for better performance in daily tasks and activities.
