Which of the following explains why we use stimulants to treat attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD)?
these stimulants have the opposite effect in children as they do in adults - they
make children sleepy
one of the effects of stimulants is to increase concentration and allow the user
to focus on a single task; at low doses, this effect is therapeutic (helpful for
symptoms) in children with ADHD, who may have under-active catecholamine
systems
high doses of amphetamines make children euphoric so they aren't self-
conscious about their symptoms
none of the above - stimulants DON'T improve ADHD and are no longer
prescribed for that disorder
