Pathophysiologic Mechanisms

We report on a unique clinical case of psychosis precipitated by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and explore its implications for clinical practice as well as our understanding of these conditions. We describe a clinical case of a 46-year-old male presenting with auditory, olfactory, tactile, and visual hallucinations. We reviewed the literature on reported cases in which psychotic symptoms were treated with stimulant medications for ADHD comorbidity. This case report reveals the potential for properly selected patients to benefit from a consideration of ADHD comorbidity and a trial of treatment with that focus. In addition, the literature reveals a pathophysiologic association between psychosis and ADHD supported by neurobiological data. However, far more research is required to fully understand these conditions and their relationship. We conclude that ADHD and psychosis have some related pathophysiologic mechanisms but their connection has not been adequately explored. This case adds support to literature suggesting that in refractory psychosis, clinicians should re-evaluate the diagnosis and one of the considerations should be ADHD. In certain cases, the presence of psychotic symptoms with ADHD should not exclude the use of stimulants.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that is diagnosed in a constantly growing number of individuals in the Western world. This chapter provides a short overview of the shift in the conceptualization of ADHD drawing on the five Diagnostic and Statistical Manuals (DSMs). The authors argue that focusing on the concept of timing and understanding time in ADHD may allow teachers and parents to look beyond using pharmaceutics as the first course of treatment. The chapter concludes with a case study that showcases the experience of timing domains in ADHD.
