Abstract

Clinical Neurology

Psychiatry and Mental health

Apathy is a common condition that transcends psychiatric diagnoses. Its treatment is not well studied. The authors present four cases of apathy treated with a regimen of methylphenidate. Significant improvement in apathy and its sub-domains (motivation, novelty, and persistence) were noted.
