Description
Treatment of ADHD with atomoxetine
One important symptom: attention deficit
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents. ADHD may persist into adulthood. The core symptoms are attention-deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Relevant for the disorder: the noradrenergic transmitter system
Research results have suggested the importance of genetic factors for the pathogenesis of ADHD. These factors not only relate to the dopaminergic transmitter system, but also to the noradrenergic transmitter system. The role of the noradrenergic transmitter system in ADHD is explained in this book.
50 questions and answers on atomoxetine
Medication is often part of a multi-modal treatment plan for ADHD. One such medication is atomoxetine, a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. The use of atomoxetine may involve a number of questions. 50 important questions on this compound are answered competently in this book.
