Biederman, Joseph; Spencer, Thomas J.; Wilens, Timothy E.; Prince, Jefferson B.; Faraone, Stephen V.
Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, v45 n10 p1147 Oct 2006
This article is a response to Dr. Steven E. Nissen's comments (Nissen, 2006) about attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its treatment with stimulant medications. In this article, the authors refute his arguments and provide accurate information. Here, they answer the questions, such as: (1) Do stimulants increase the risk for sudden death?; (2) Is ADHD overdiagnosed and overtreated?; (3) Are the stimulants prescribed in the treatment of ADHD similar to metamphetamine, ephedra, or PPA?; and (4) Did the Luftwaffe first use stimulants?
