In today’s society, there are substances that alter brain chemistry. Some are illegal—such as heroin, cocaine, LSD, etc.—but others are legal and even heavily promoted by pharmaceutical industries. One example is medications used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), such as methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin) and amphetamines (e.g., Adderall). In academic settings, individuals without a diagnosis use them to boost their concentration. This is a public health issue that reveals the pressure within academic environments. While this is most common in the United States, cases have already been reported in Colombia.
