A member asked:
What kind of stimulants actually work for depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antidepressants: In depression, the specific neurotransmitters involved are serotonin and dopamine, which are not specifically targeted by amphetamines or stimulants. In some cases, there is a need for both antidepressants and stimulants. The proper treatment is based on an accurate diagnosis, and a consistent follow up to monitor the improvement of both depression and adhd.
