Some psychosis cases follow treatment of ADHD with stimulants: Study

Abstract

Conducting a systemic review and meta-analysis, researchers have found an occurrence of psychotic symptoms, psychotic disorders, or bipolar disorder (BD) in individuals with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treated with stimulants. The study did not establish causality, and one significant limitation was the inability to determine whether the psychotic symptoms were related to the ADHD itself, or to the treatment.
