Ritalin is primarily prescribed to individuals diagnosed with ADHD to help manage symptoms such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. It is also used to treat narcolepsy, a sleep disorder that causes excessive daytime drowsiness. The medication is available in short-acting and long-acting forms, allowing flexibility in treatment. Though highly effective, Ritalin should not be used without medical supervision due to the risk of misuse and potential side effects.
