Education In Canada

Empty pill bottle for the drug Aderall rests on the table by a university student's exam study notes the night before mid-terms in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. University and college students are using the drug Adderall to retain their focus, particularly during stressful periods such as exam time. Adderall, an amphetamine prescribed to individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now common on campuses across North America. Researchers in the United States estimate that as many as 30 per cent of students there are abusing Adderall. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
