ADHD and the second world war

by Shiaatzz

During the war nazis used pervitin and allies used benedrine as an stimulant and allow troops to fight days at time. Benzedrine is amphetamine based and pervitin is methamphetamine based.

Nowdays we use amphetamine, methamphetamine or other stimulant based drugs to treat ADHD.

So did soldiers with ADHD who were issued with stimulants just pretend they were stimulated because of peer pressure or just reported that drugs weren't working?

I'm sorry but I've had to remove your thread temporarily because our users have expressed concern about its ableist language. To say that people with ADHD "were blissful that they could think" implies they can't think unless medicated. While I'm sure my ADHD friends would confirm that this can be how it feels, I hope you'll understand that we can't tolerate this part of the body post because of the way some people will read it. Please remove that part of your question so we can reapprove the thread.
