(STIM-yoo-lunt) In medicine, a family of drugs used to treat depression, attention-deficit disorder (a common disorder in which children are inattentive, impulsive, and/or over-active), and narcolepsy (a sleep disorder that causes uncontrollable sleepiness). Stimulants increase brain activity, alertness, attention, and energy. They also raise blood pressure and increase heart rate and breathing rate.
an agent that increases activity, for example in the central nervous system
Any agent temporarily increasing functional activity. Stimulants may be used to increase functional activity of different organs within the body. Stimulant medications help people with ADHD to focus and to ignore distractions. This makes them better able to pay attention and control their behavior.
is a drug which speeds up the central nervous system to increase neural activity in the brain. Examples are amphetamines, cocaine, caffeine and ecstasy. They tend to make people feel more alert and awake. They are sometimes called 'uppers'.
