Clinical and Neuropsychological Predictors of Methylphenidate Response in Children and Adolescents with ADHD: A Naturalistic Follow-up Study in a Spanish Sample.

Other stimulants or non-stimulants treatment may be considered when these clinical and neuropsychological variables converged in the first clinical interview. PMID: 32174998 [PubMed]
