Abstract in brief

Psychostimulants like amphetamine and methylphenidate are key treatments for ADHD, but they work differently at a cellular level, primarily by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine activity in the brain.
Amphetamine's effects include blocking neurotransmitter transporters and inhibiting enzymes that break down these chemicals, while methylphenidate mainly blocks transporters and also affects serotonin receptors, with some influence on glutamate and opioid systems.
Understanding these differences helps physicians better tailor treatments for ADHD, especially in patients who also have other psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, or substance use issues.
