Why do doctors prescribe stimulants to treat depression?

0

Doctors sometimes prescribe other medications such as stimulants and anti-anxiety medications to use in conjunction with an antidepressant. This is especially likely if the patient has a co-existing mental or physical disorder. However, neither anti-anxiety medications nor stimulants are effective against depression when taken alone. Talk to your doctor about this type of treatment. Ask if it might boost the effect of your antidepressant.
