Does stress stunt growth?? (ADHD)?


i had alot of stress when i was in grade 5, alot, about my friendship, and etc. now im in grade 9. and i havent grown much since grade 5. i also had adhd pills in grade 7. but just for 4 months or so. i heard that adhd pills stunt growth too, is it true??? doctors say, kids who take adhd pills for 3 years, is an inch shorter than people who doesnt take adhd pills. so me takin those for 4 months is okay right??

Yes, it does affect growth

Higher testosterone levels, particularly androgen, can cause a petite stature. With or without the pills. I know coz I'm sooooooo short....

I don't know. I have ADHD and have refused to take medications (long story, email me if you want to here it) but my brother takes ADHD meds and he is tiny!!
