ADHD treatment and academic performance: a case series.
Most new cases of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are of the predominantly inattentive subtype. Research on the use of psychostimulants in these patients has shown a high rate of nonresponders. Although psychostimulants showed a short-term decrease in symptoms in students diagnosed with predominantly inattentive ADHD, they did not significantly improve grade-point averages.
