The initial drug of choice in Major depressive disorder is SSRI. Most commonly it is Fluoxetene. Is this any different in a patient with a history of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder?
ADHD is more commonly associated with Antisocial personlity disorder and conduct disorder. Is this associated with Depression too?

I chose E .. Paroxetine (an SSRI), but the correct answer was B..Buproprion. The explanation was very confusing.
