Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 9 - Researchers recently published a report in the International Journal of Drug Policy, saying that nearly 30,000 people around the world have found that using Ritalin and other drugs known as "smart drugs" to enhance cognitive performance. The number of people is on the rise, with Americans using the highest rates.

Ritalin is a central nervous system stimulant that has excitatory effects on the cerebral cortex and subcortical center. It helps to uplift, relieve depression and reduce fatigue. It is often used to treat ADHD, but in recent years some healthy people have taken these drugs to enhance memory or attention. British health care regulators have warned of the risk of drug abuse.

The new survey is aimed at prescription drugs for the treatment of ADHD such as Ritalin and Adela, and modafinil, a prescription drug for the treatment of sleep disorders. The results showed that the use of “smart drugs” increased in the 15 countries and regions involved in the survey.

Among them, the use rate of Americans is the highest. In 2017, 30% of respondents used this drug at least once in the past year, and this percentage was 20% in 2015. The European region has seen the largest increase, from 3% in 2015 to 16% in 2017, with UK users increasing from 5% in 2015 to 23% in 2017.

Lalissa Meyer, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, who is in charge of the study, said that although the participants in the survey may be more interested in drug use, multiple similar surveys for the general population also showed The same trend.

Barbara Sahajian, a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, believes that the results of this large-scale survey reveal that more and more healthy people are using this type of drug for a “lifestyle” choice, which has led to Ethical concerns.

In addition, it is still controversial whether healthy people use “smart drugs” to be more “smart”. Studies have shown that some people have benefits in certain situations, such as surgeons taking modafinil to concentrate, but studies in a wider population suggest that these drugs do not necessarily improve cognitive performance.
