American Academy of Neurology has urged doctors against prescribing brain stimulating drugs to healthy children in a position statement issued by the neurologists.

According to the researchers, using these drugs for healthy kids cannot be justified, as there are no large scale studies analyzing the effect of these drugs on healthy individuals. Moreover, the stimulants increase the heart rate and blood pressure.
In the statement issued, authors urge doctors to talk to the children requesting for stimulants about other alternatives and prescribe attention enhancing drugs only to the kids diagnosed with ADHD.
