In this episode, Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Sanil Rege examines the complex relationship between ADHD pharmacotherapy and the emergence of psychotic symptoms.

By analysing synthesis data from The Lancet Psychiatry (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(25)00248-2/abstract), the podcast distinguishes between drug-induced events and baseline neurobiological vulnerabilities inherent in ADHD populations.


This podcast provides clinicians with a neuroscientific framework for differentiating between protopathic bias and true medication-induced psychotic phenomena, as well as a step-wise screening pathway for risk-guided prescribing using validated at-risk mental state (ARMS) triage tools.
