ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder): Adderall is commonly prescribed to manage the symptoms of ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults. These symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and difficulty with focus and organization. Adderall helps to increase attention span, improve concentration, reduce impulsivity, and enhance behavioral control.
