Popis: While the mainstay of medication treatment for ADHD is stimulant medications, because of the wide variety of other conditions associated with ADHD and the frequent incomplete efficacy of stimulants alone, multiple other treatment modalities including other medication options are often part of the therapeutic regimen. The most common coexisting conditions that are often treated with medications are mood disorders, anxiety and severe behavior disorders. Antidepressant medications and atypical antipsychotic medications are widely used in those with ADHD, and familiarity with the issues and side effects related to these is an essential part of ADHD management.
