Measure
Well-being Therapy With Amphetamine/Dextroamphetamine
In the active group, participants will receive treatment with Well-being therapy and amphetamine-dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine-dextroamphetamine (AMPH): The amphetamine-dextroamphetamine will be in a pill formulation. The dosage of the amphetamine-dextroamphetamine will be flexibly adjusted up or down by a study clinician based on the participant's response. Dose ranges will be 1-3 pills (placebo or 5 mg amphetamine) in the morning and 1-3 pills (placebo or 5 mg amphetamine) at noon. Well-being therapy: Therapy sessions will last between 30-50 minutes. The sessions will take place at every visit after the screening visit.
Well-being Therapy With Placebo
In the placebo group, participants will receive treatment with Well-being therapy and pill placebo. Placebo: The placebo will match the dextroamphetamine in form, dosage, frequency, and duration. Well-being therapy: Therapy sessions will last between 30-50 minutes. The sessions will take place at every visit after the screening visit.
