Question

Caitlyn has been seeing a psychiatrist for the last six months, and this physician has suggested that the parents give her a low dose of either adderall or ritalin to help reduce her symptoms. he suggests that this can help decrease how excited and distractible she is at home and in the classroom. which condition has caitlyn most likely been diagnosed with?

Answer 1

The condition Caitlyn has most likely been diagnosed with is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Caitlyn is hyperactive, meaning that she is overly active, more than she is supposed to be, and is thus disruptive in the classroom. She cannot pay attention to anything, because her mind often wanders off elsewhere. These symptoms can be reduced by taking pills such as Adderall or Ritalin.
