ADD/ADHD: Ritalin, Strattera, Concerta, occasionally Wellbutrin
OCD: Luvox (SSRI), Anafranil (Tr-cyclic) and all the other SSRI's
PTSD: SSRI's (which help with speeding synaptic regrowth in neural pathways damaged by excessive cortisol such as Prozac,zoloft,paxil, celexa, lexapro), Mood Stabilizers(usually atypicals like zyprexa,seroquel or anticonvulsants like topamax, lamictal) and recent research suggests Inderal can be useful if administered early in preventing the excessive physiologic arousal associated with flashbacks. Note that these all medication is an adjunctive therapy and not a primary treatment modality
DEPRESSION: all SSRI's as mentioned above, SNRI's (Effexor, Cymbalta), NRI's (Wellbutrin), Tricyclics and tetracyclics(imipramine, amitryptiline, norpramine, trazedone) and others like serzone, remeron, also MAOI's (nardil, parnate, marplan)

ADD - Ritalin or Adderal
OCD - Since OCD is a specialized form of anxiety disorder, I think it's generally treated the same way: an SSRI such as Prozac or an anti-anxiety drug such as Buspar
PTSD - Probably an SSRI or a mood stabalizer. I don't know if it responds well to drugs.
Depression - Take your pick, SSRI, SNRI, Tri-cyclic anti-depressant
Anxiety an SSRI such as Prozac or an anti-anxiety drug such as Buspar
