Cognitive DevelopmentCognitive Development
Moves from concrete thinking to “formal operations” –i.e. Abstract thinking
Physical development precedes cognitive development
The last part of the brain to mature is the prefrontal cortex
Adolescence is a time of profound change in brain function.

Frontal Lobe Dysfunction: area of brain responsible for planning, attention, regulation of motor activity
“Underactive Brain” Reduced metabolic activity Not enough Dopamine Hypoperfusion

Pharmacotherapy for ADHD
Stimulants: methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine), and mixed amphetamine (Adderall), pemoline (Cyclert) Extended release--Ritalin LA/Concerta/Metadate
CD, Adderall XR--decrease dosing to once daily
![Page 21: Child and Adolescent Mental Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081421/56813066550346895d964155/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Non-Stimulant Medications for ADHD Affect norepinephrine release or
reuptake: clonidine (Catapres) guanfacine (Tenex, Intuniv) atomoxetine (Strattera)
![Page 22: Child and Adolescent Mental Health](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081421/56813066550346895d964155/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stimulant Medication Issues
Rebound effects common, esp. with multi-dose forms
Side effects: anorexia, weight loss, abnormal movements/tics, labile mood, insomnia, agitation
Potential for drug abuse dextroamphetamine with l-lysine (Vyvanse)
psychostimulant that reduces abuse potential
