Psychostimulants used in the treatment of psychiatric conditions, including depression, alleviate some of the observed psychomotor retardation. We describe 3 patients with impairments of arousal and psychomotor speed secondary to tumor-related organic brain dysfunction who benefited from stimulant therapy.Keywords
