Bianca Harris: 我从小患有脑瘤,这严重影响了我的认知能力,导致我多年来难以集中注意力和阅读,直到成年后才被诊断出ADHD。在服用利他能显著改善我的注意力和认知功能后,我感到如释重负,并对药物带来的益处心存感激。然而,药物也存在副作用,例如易怒和偶尔的滥用,在怀孕期间停药的经历也十分痛苦。尽管如此,我仍然认为药物的益处大于弊端,它让我能够更好地爱自己和生活。 PJ Vogt: 我反思了自己对兴奋剂的态度转变,从最初的狂热支持到后来的抵制,最终认识到这是一个复杂的问题。我质疑了药物对解决工作不满的效用,认为它可能掩盖了需要改变生活方式的信号。同时,我也被Bianca对药物的积极评价所触动,意识到个体经验的多样性。我呼吁理性看待药物使用,强调个性化和利弊权衡的重要性。
