Dear Doctors: We don't hear about COVID-19 that much these days. The words I keep hearing are endemic, epidemic and outbreak. Can you explain what the differences are? Is COVID-19 over?
DEAR HARRIETTE: My best friend recently started taking Adderall to treat her ADHD. I'm very concerned for her. In the first month of her taking the medication, her weight has dropped drastically, and she is frequently agitated. When she told me about the medication, she didn't tell me all of the details. It wasn't until I did my own research that I found out how serious the side effects can be. She is thrilled with how her focus has improved, but I fear she will become addicted to a drug that is having obvious adverse effects on her physical and mental health. How can I help her before this goes too far? I should mention that she got this prescription somehow without her mom knowing. Should I say something to her mom? I think she may hate me if I do. – Going Too Far
