The patients parents say that his teacher told them that he may have to repeat a grade because of his lack of progress, as he does not pay attention to the lessons, tends to fidget about in his seat, and often blurts out comments when it is someone elses turn to speak. Furthermore, his after-school karate coach says the patient no longer listens to instructions and has a hard time focusing on the activity at hand. The patient has no significant past medical history and is currently not on any medications. The patient has no known learning disabilities and has been meeting all developmental milestones. The parents are vehemently opposed to using any medication with a potential for addiction. Which of the following medications is the best course of treatment for this patient?? A: Diazepam, B: Atomoxetine, C: Methylphenidate, D: Sertraline, E: Olanzapine,  <response>: This is a clinical vignette describing a 11-year-old boy with symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that are negatively impacting his academic performance and extracurricular activities. He has no past medical history or learning disabilities. The parents do not want medications with addiction potential. Based on the DSM-5 criteria, this patient meets criteria for ADHD. First-line medications for ADHD include stimulants like methylphenidate and amphetamines, and non-stimulants like atomoxetine. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety and would not be appropriate. Sertraline is an SSRI antidepressant and olanzapine is an antipsychotic - neither would be first-line for ADHD. Of the choices, methylphenidate and atomoxetine would be reasonable options. Methylphenidate is a stimulant and atomoxetine is a non-stimulant, both FDA approved for ADHD. Since the parents do not want medications with addiction potential, atomoxetine would be the best choice.B: Atomoxetine
