An ataractic drug is used to reduce emotional stress or deterioration of thinking. For example, a study was conducted in which men taking an ataractic drug agreed to participate in a board game of chess, betting a certain amount of money. While the control group of men who did not take ataractic drugs was deprived of these abilities due to awareness of responsibility and thoughts about the consequences. This suggests that the use of ataractics may lead to a loss of ability to effectively solve problems or impairment of thinking, and may also reduce the sense of responsibility. In addition, there are other possible side effects of this type of pill. The suspected effects of these drugs on cognitive performance first came to public attention thanks to the blog iGraded, which informed students, teachers and the public about their effects. And although it is closed, there is still time for the Drug Enforcement Agency to begin an investigation and prevent potential academic success from being ruined for thousands of college and university students. As a result, further research is needed to evaluate the serious consequences of the use of such drugs among college students and adults.
