What is the purpose of stimulant medication?

  1. Treatment of Anxiety

  2. Treatment of Depression

  3. Treatment of ADHD

  4. Treatment of Bipolar Disorder

The correct answer is: Treatment of ADHD

Stimulant medication is typically prescribed for the treatment of ADHD, not anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. Despite some evidence that stimulants may have some effects on anxiety and depression, they are not primarily used for those conditions. Additionally, stimulants may even worsen symptoms of bipolar disorder and are considered a last-line treatment for this condition. Therefore, the purpose of stimulant medication is primarily for the treatment of ADHD.
