Abstract

Pharmacological treatment provides mild symptom improvement but is associated with frequent AEs and higher treatment discontinuation than placebo, particularly when no concomitant psychotherapy is administered. Stimulants appear more efficacious than non-stimulant drugs and the former should be preferred over the latter. The efficacy of pharmacological treatment should be monitored over time because it may decrease progressively.
