Neuro-/Psychopharmaka im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Zusammenfassung

Als Psychostimulanzien oder Stimulanzien wird die Gruppe von Neuro-/Psychopharmaka bezeichnet, die vorwiegend eine erregende Wirkung auf das zentrale Nervensystem und die Psyche ausüben. Das Hauptanwendungsgebiet der Psychostimulanzien Amphetamin und Methylphenidat ist die Therapie der Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS), eine der häufigsten Erkrankungen in der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie. Neben diesen Psychostimulanzien werden Nicht-Psychostimulanzien wie Atomoxetin, Clonidin und Guanfacin zur Behandlung der ADHS verwendet. In diesem Kapitel wird ein kurzer Überblick zu den Erklärungsmodellen der Wirkmechanismen von Psychostimulanzien und anderen Substanzen gegeben. Weiter werden wichtige Aspekte der klinischen Psychopharmakologie wie Indikationen, klinische Wirksamkeit und Studienlage, Dosierungen, Pharmaka-Wechselwirkungen, Anwendungseinschränkungen, Dauer der Behandlung und Kontrolluntersuchungen als Orientierungshilfe für die klinische Anwendung besprochen.
