“…The fragility of the movements and the detachment from health professionals restrict their critical capacity and ability of promoting public policies and care for ADHD (Vasconcelos, 2013 ). While middle class associations of patients and family members have gradually been able to advance their agendas and extend their influence through national forums (Coutinho et al, 2017 ; Castro, 2020 ), associations gravitating around public mental health services struggle with advancing a broader perspective related to the logic of psychosocial care. Such imbalance in the imposition of the agendas of these different styles of activism reinforces the inequality in relation to access to treatments and health and educational services for children and their families.…”

Such studies have observed that the growth is associated with the fact that prescriptions are largely done in the private sector (for middleand upper classes) and to the off-label use for cognitive, physical, sexual and emotional enhancement also related to those classes (Coutinho et al, 2017;Esher and Coutinho, 2017;Lima et al, 2019;Castro, 2020).…”

“…Já a faceta que se refere a pensar, aprender, memória e concentração tiveram média de 51,57%, sendo classificado como boa. Dessa forma, é necessário dar maior atenção a esses dados, pois a falta de concentração pode estimular o uso de nootrópicos, conhecidos como "smart drugs" ou drogas da inteligência, por possuírem ação cerebral para aumentar o foco, a atenção, a memória e o raciocínio a fim de se obter melhores resultados no ambiente acadêmico [25].…”
