Psychostimulants in the treatment of adults with psychosis and attention deficit disorder

L A Opler et al. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2001 Jun.

Abstract

Whether conceptualized as comorbid ADD with psychosis or as a distinct diagnostic entity--ADD psychosis--patients with features of both ADD and psychosis benefit from treatment with psychostimulants. It is hypothesized that psychostimulants have their therapeutic effect via amelioration of frontal lobe dysfunction.
