Why Everyone ’ s Worried About Their Attention Span —and How to Improve Yours
Seemingly everyone is concerned about concentration these days. Margaret Sibley, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, specializes in working with adolescents and adults who have attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). But recently, Sibley says, she and her colleagues have been “inundated” with clients who don’t actually have ADHD—they’re just worried they do.
It’s hard to blame them for worrying. ADHD diagnostic rates are on the rise in the U.S. and posts on TikTok and other social media platforms have convinced...

What Are the Symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome?
Discussion
Serotonin syndrome (SS) is a clinical diagnosis and problem which can be seen in patients of all ages.

My ADHD makes motherhood a huge challenge, but it also gives me superpowers | Sarah Marsh
As a child I was ‘away with the fairies’, as an adult I ran for miles. Now I use that energy to make my son’s life amazingI was once on a list of two people who lost their work passes at the Guardian more than anyone else. I am chronically chaotic: my wardrobe includes unfolded jumpers and items thrown on top of each other. I am driven by what I can only describe as an inner motor that wants to be doing new things at all times.Given all these symptoms, it ’s surprising that it took me until the age of 34 to get a diagnosis ofattention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD), and it came alongside the birth of my first...

Pre-Workout Powders Are Gaining Popularity. Do They Work?
If you’ve trained your social-media algorithms to serve you even a little bit of fitness content, scrolling your TikTok feed might feel like wandering the aisles of a vitamin store. Workout vlogs often feature a prominently displayed tub of something called pre-workout powder: Just mix a scoop into a glass of water, down it before exercising, and you’ll instantly become more efficient and energized during your workout.
That’s the hoped-for benefit, anyway. The reality is more of a gamble.
“Pre-workout,” a packaged powder that contains at least a dozen supplements—and usually more—...

In 2022, social media inspired many of the ways we tried to get and stay healthy—but not always for the better.

The new year is the perfect time to re-evaluate these habits, experts say. Here are nine wellness trends you’d be better off ditching in 2023—plus healthier alternatives.

What Types of Memory Impairments are There in Children?
Discussion
Memory is an important part of what distinguishes higher order species from others. Memory also is part of one’s self-identity.

Difficulties with long-term memory can also have problems when language, events or even one’s own identity are affected. For some people the memory loss is temporary but for others, memory impairments are permanent and must be accepted and accommodated as part of the overall...

What Safety Guidance Should Farm Families Be Aware Of?
Discussion
“The agriculture industry is consistently ranked as one of the most hazardous industries in the United States with some of the highest rates of work related injuries and deaths.

Q & A: A drug-free option for treating ADHD in children
Deciding how to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children can be a difficult decision for parents.
