I was thinking literally the same thing. I wonder how these patients would respond to stimulant medication?

Or even non-stimulants like Atomoxetine (Strattera) that are known to be effective for ADHD. Could even try more experimental ones if you have money and a license to do whatever you want medically.

I just got put on Strattera (bipolar 2 and adhd) and i gotta say it's been working pretty good for me
