Study: Up to Two-Thirds of Children with ADHD Have Used Alternative Therapies

August 4, 2022Up to two-thirds of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have used complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to address their symptoms, according to a new study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders.Nutrition modifications; natural products, such as herbs, vitamins, and minerals; and mind-body practices like mindful meditation were the most-reported CAMs. The use of alternative therapies was higher in families where the caregiver preferred natural therapies for ADHD and believed CAMs could synergistically boost conventional medicine.1In addition, researchers found two predictive factors for alternative therapy use: parents’ education level (the more educated the parents, the more likely alternative therapies were used) and female gender.“It seems that parents with higher education are open-minded,” the researchers wrote.

Study: Emotional Dysregulation Improved with ADHD Medication Use

August 3, 2022Psychopharmacological treatments for ADHD are likely to improve emotional behaviors in adults with deficient emotional self-regulation, according to a study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders.1In a review of 14 clinical trials of adults with ADHD available on PubMed, researchers found that 13 reports showed methylphenidate, atomoxetine, or lisdexamfetamine treatment interventions had a positive impact on at least one measure of emotional behavior. Methylphenidate (brand names Concerta, Ritalin, Daytrana, Jornay PM, Quillivant XR, and others) and atomoxetine (brand name Strattera) showed the greatest improvement.“Undesirable emotional expression patterns are common in a range of mental health conditions identified in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual classifications of disorders,” the researchers wrote.

Why Hosting a Party Can Be Particularly Painful for Someone With Borderline Personality Disorder

The party went well. More than 25 people (+ one greyhound) came over 10 hours to see my lovely new apartment with its views back to the city of Melbourne on the one side and to Mount Macedon in the distance on the other. This is the first time I’ve ever lived alone and the party was to housewarm. I wanted to shake off the horror of the past pandemic year. I had put all my efforts into making my new place look the best I could imagine it to be and reflect my character and style, and to make sure everyone had everything they needed. But when the last guest left shortly after midnight I went to my bedroom, lay down, and self-harmed (in a minor way).

Why Exceptions to Abortion Bans Don't Always Work

I am overwhelmed with all the abortion talk since the ruling overturning Roe vs. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court. I had an abortion when I was 17. I was pregnant as the result of incest. It is one of the lowest parts of my life. I was alone in my trauma and there was no support in sight. I went into myself and just buried the memory of it all. I do not remember all the details of how it all transpired. I just know I was pregnant, and my parents took care of it.
