Ritalin, which contains the active ingredient methylphenidate, helps improve focus and concentration by increasing levels of certain neurotransmitters, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine, in the brain. This enhances attention span and reduces impulsivity, making it easier for individuals, especially those with ADHD, to engage in studying and complete tasks. However, it's important to note that Ritalin should only be used under medical supervision, as misuse can lead to side effects and dependency.
