Abstract
This paper reviews literature regarding psychopharmacological treatment options for ADHD, depression and dual diagnosis, and explores perceptions of treatment and considerations for art therapy in conjunction with psychotropic medication. This review attempts to initiate discussion and propel further research in the expressive arts field regarding the growing need to conceptualize our understandings of the role art therapy plays in combined treatment with psychopharmacology.
