Does eating liquorice in pregnancy raise the risk of ADHD?
Conclusion This study provides evidence of some link between how much liquorice a pregnant woman eats and earlier puberty in girls, but not boys. It also shows some association between pregnant women eating liquorice and their children scoring lower for intelligence and being more likely to have ADHD. However, this study has some limitations to consider: Glycyrrhizin is found in other food products, such as chewing gum, sweets, cookies, ice creams, herbal teas, and herbal and traditional medicines, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The amount of these products the women ate was not reported, which means ...

An ADHD diagnosis puts girls at much higher risk for other mental health problems
Girls with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are at higher risk than girls without ADHD for multiple mental disorders that often lead to cascading problems such as abusive relationships, teenage pregnancies, poor grades and drug abuse, UCLA psychologists  report in the journal Pediatrics.The researchers, who conducted by far the most comprehensive analysis of girls and ADHD, report:37.7 percent of girls with ADHD met criteria for an anxiety disorder, compared with only 13.9 percent of girls without ADHD.10.3 percent of girls with ADHD were diagnosed with depression compared with only 2.9 percent without ADHD.42 per...

Combining medications could offer better results for ADHD patients
Three studies report that combining two standard medications could lead to greater clinical improvements for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than either ADHD therapy alone. At present, studies show that the use of several ADHD medications result in significant reductions in ADHD symptoms. However, so far there is no conclusive evidence that these standard drug treatments also improve long-term academic, social, and clinical outcomes.

'Why Do Some People Learn And Grow After Trauma And Others Don't?'
Reader Philosophical Questioner writes, Why do some people have maturity and perspective, while other people, with similar experiences, lack these qualities? I can think of two of my siblings, and my father and uncle. Both pairs of people have experienced regular life trauma: challenging relationships, the deaths of partners, etc. In both pairs of people, one person has gained a lot of insight about life, and regularly provides solid insight, wisdom, and advice about life. The other person has a myopic view of life, and doesn't seem to learn much from their experiences. I think this ability to be objective about your lif...

Best Plan For Autism Starts With Behavioral Therapy
Although there is no cure for autism, various interventions can help diminish the symptoms, sometimes profoundly. Since both social and communication differences are part of the diagnosis, behavioral and speech language therapy are typically the foundation of intervention. But one challenge in planning, and a stress for parents, is that no single educational plan works for all children. From a research point of view, the most proven approach for children with autism remains behavioral therapy. While behavioral intervention sometimes seems meant only for overly rambunctious children who act out, that's not the case. It's ...

Sleep: A New Treatment for ADHD?
Everyone knows how important sleep is, and parents all over the world will tell you how important sleep is for their children. A poor night's sleep cannot only ruin a child's day, but his/her Mom's, Dad's and teacher's day as well. The effects of poor sleep are especially heightened in children who suffer from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the most commonly diagnosed developmental disorder in young children today. Children with ADHD who report having poor sleep often display more symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Provided the detrimental effects these symptoms have on academic and ...

10 Experiments at the Forefront of Sleep Science
As part of the team at Experiment.com, a crowdfunding platform for science, I get to talk to scientists all the time. I've been an insomniac and poor sleeper all my life, so I decided to run a Sleep Challenge Grant to launch a batch of sleep experiments together on the site. Here's what I'm learning from 10 scientists at the forefront of sleep research: Men who go to sleep late have more sex. "Evening men," who naturally wake up later and go to sleep later, tend to have higher mating success but lower success in social settings like school or business. Dr. Christoph Randler wants to investigate whether there are clues fo...

Mental Health Month: Normal Teen Angst or Adolescent Mental Illness?
May is Mental Health Month. Mental illness is not an adults-only issue. Almost half of all chronic mental illness begins by age 14; three-quarters by age 24. Yet the stigma associated with mental illness prevents many teens from seeking help. The normal drama, moodiness and withdrawal from family of the teen years can blind parents to a teen’s very real distress. To complicate things further, there are sometimes medical or lifestyle issues at the root of emotional and behavioral change. We should never ignore talk of self-harm or suicide. We should never minimize a teen’s very real emotional pain. But it’s important ...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in Children Born Preterm and With Poor Fetal Growth
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, with a recent international pooled prevalence rate of 7.2%. It is associated with significant adverse effects on academic achievement, social competence, community participation, health, and family functioning. The etiology of ADHD is complex, and known risk factors include genetics, environmental toxins, psychosocial adversity, and pre- and perinatal risks, including low birthweight and prematurity. ADHD is the most common sequela of prematurity/very low birthweight for school-age children, with a prevalence rate o...

Birth Date May Influence Child's Risk For ADHD Diagnosis
A child's birth date could play a role in determining which kids will be diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and subsequently put on medication to treat it, a new study from Taiwan suggests.   The researchers found that preschool and school-age children who were born in August had an increased risk of being diagnosed with ADHD and receiving medication for it compared to their classmates who were born in September. But this finding did not hold true in teenagers, according to the study, published today (March 10) in The Journal of Pediatrics. Because the cutoff birth date for entering sc...
