Abstract
Previous research found ADHD symptoms and psychostimulant use in individuals without ADHD diagnoses. We compared neuropsychological symptoms in medical users, non-medical users, and non-users of psychostimulants. We found more symptoms in users than non-users but no significant differences in most symptoms between user groups, although medical users reported more inattention.
