| Summary | The clinical use of stimulants for behavioral disturbances in children and adolescents first began in 1937 by Charles Bradley and was based on an accidental observation of him, when giving Benzedrine to brain-diseased children, which resulted in an improvement in their disruptive behaviors. Bradley also noted improved academic performance, better self-control, and improved attention to task. Bradley and his collaborators continued to investigate more carefully the effects of Benzedrine and Dexedrine, also by using various psychometric tests. Bradley published a completed form of his his findings in 1950 after using amphetamines for two decades to treat hyperactivity, impulsivity, and moodiness in clinically referred children. | ||
