How Does Adderall Abuse Affect Someone Who Is Depressed?
Question by snowy: How does adderall abuse affect someone who is depressed?
Will it cause them to be more withdrawn? Can they appear fine to some peolpe and be distant to others, like say those they used to be close to? What other symptoms can you tell me about? Thanks a lot!
But what about people not suffering from AD/HD. For example someone with AD/HD adderall decreases their hyperactivity but someone without AD/HD it acts as a stimulant. So does this have an affect on a depressed person.

What Does It Mean When CPS Does a Home Visit 2 Times in One Case?
Question by RachieRoo: What does it mean when CPS does a home visit 2 times in one case?
What does it mean when CPS does a home visit 2 times in one case?
Okay so far we’ve had a school visit with me, a counselor, and a case worker, then we had a house visit in the middle of a Sunday night and now they came but we weren’t home. My dad got a call saying they’d be back. When they came earlier they left a notice saying “the child” (me) can be taken at any time by CPS without a court order or parental consent. What does all this mean? We have also had a previous case before with them. My mom has a history of drug abuse and recently called a hotline in a prescription drug abuse rampage. Please help me. Am I being taken?
