Which medication is commonly used to treat ADHD?

• A. Sertraline
• B. Adderall
• C. Lithium
• D. Alprazolam

Answer: (B)

Stimulant medications that boost dopamine and norepinephrine in brain circuits that control attention and behavior are commonly used to treat ADHD, and Adderall is a well-known example. It helps improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and lessen hyperactivity by increasing those neurotransmitters in the areas of the brain involved in executive function. The other drugs listed serve different conditions: sertraline is an SSRI used for depression and anxiety, lithium is a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder, and alprazolam is a benzodiazepine for anxiety. They don’t target the same neurochemical pathways or symptom profile that ADHD treatment aims to address.
