First, we will explore the link between ADHD and eating disorders. Regardless of the cause of the comorbidity, we can then discuss some of the ways that ADHD symptoms interfere with the treatments for eating disorders.
Secondly, we will review the available medications for ADHD, including discussion of their mechanisms of action, comparative efficacy, and actual incidence and degree of various adverse effects.
Finally, we will look at the use of these medications to treat ADHD in patients with restrictive eating disorders, drawing from both case studies and direct clinical experience.
Objectives:
1. List the challenges ADHD presents to eating disorder treatment
2. Predict expected side effects of ADHD medications based on their mechanism
3. Recognize potential barriers to appropriate ADHD treatment based on patient characteristics.
