Trial Information

Summary: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Depression

Is your child suffering from more than just Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

Does your child:

• Frequently complain about being "bored¨?
• Withdraw from you and friends?
• Seem less interested in activities?
• Become more agitated and irritable over little things?

If you've answered "yes" to any of the questions above, your child may also be suffering from depression. Medication used to treat the symptoms of ADHD does not always treat symptoms of depression and alternative medication may be necessary. It is estimated that one in every five children with ADHD also suffer from depression.

UTMB is sponsoring a study to compare medications used to treat the symptoms associated with both ADHD and depression. Study participants receive a complete psychiatric evaluation and study medication at no cost. Most clinical trials are free of charge and may provide compensation for travel and food expenses. Medical insurance is not required.
