Pharmacotherapy for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in youth with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder: a case series of patients prescribed stimulant medication in a partial hospitalization program for eating disorders

Future studies using more rigorous methodology, longer follow-up times, and within other treatment settings are needed.
