Link between stress in pregnancy and ADHD unfounded
Conclusion
Despite the media headlines and scaremongering, ADHD is never mentioned in the study.
The researchers cite animal studies which suggest increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol may speed up development before birth. They say this may prevent proper maturation of the organs and so could cause any "mental or physical illness" occurring later in life, such as ADHD.
However, for ethical reasons, the levels of stress hormones in the amniotic fluid were only measured once in this study. This means we are unable to tell whether they changed during periods of maternal stress or during the pregnancy.

Teens Who Are Constantly On Their Phones May Be At Risk of ADHD, Study Says
New research says there may be consequences for teenagers growing up in the social media generation.
Though it could not prove causation, a new study, published Tuesday in JAMA, found an association between lots of screen use in teenagers and symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The disorder is characterized by difficulty paying attention, paired with hyperactivity and impulsive behavior, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In 2014, a group of researchers surveyed more than 3,000 California 10th graders about their digital media use and their self-reported frequency of symptoms that could indicate ADHD, ...

One in 10 U.S. Kids Has Been Diagnosed with ADHD
One in 10 U.S. children has been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to the latest federal data.
The findings, which were published Friday in JAMA Network Open, suggest that ADHD — which is characterized by consistent inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity — is being diagnosed more frequently than it was even two decades ago. About 6% of U.S. children ages 4 to 17 had been diagnosed with ADHD in 1997-1998, compared to 10.2% in 2015-2016, according to the paper.
The researchers tracked these changes by analyzing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...

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. Stimulants, such as Adderall and Ritalin, are the most commonly prescribed ADHD treatments — and are considered to be the most effective. But in April, the FDA approved the first device-based, non-drug therapy to treat ADHD in children. The FDA decision followed the completion of aUCLA study demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of a trigeminal nerve stimulation device that could be a new option for treating the disorder.The device tested in the study was developed using technology invented at UCLA...

What a day for a daydream (pass the Adderall)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLeGbDx_9eM
In a recent “Toxicology Rounds” column in Emergency Medicine News, I pointed out that the American Psychiatry Association and the latest edition of its publication, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) have been expanding the criteria for diagnosing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD):
Criterion “B” in DSM-IV requires that “some hyperactive-impulsive or inattentive symptoms were present before age 7 years.” That same criterion in DSM-V reads: “Several inattentive or hyperactive-impulsive symptoms were present prior to ...

Use of acetaminophen during pregnancy linked to ADHD in children, UCLA researchers say
Acetaminophen, found in over-the-counter products such as Excedrin and Tylenol, provides many people with relief from headaches and sore muscles. When used appropriately, it is considered mostly harmless. Over recent decades, the drug, which has been marketed since the 1950s, has become the medication most commonly used by pregnant women for fevers and pain.
Now, a long-term study by UCLA, in collaboration with the University of Aarhus in Denmark, has raised concerns about the use of acetaminophen during pregnancy.
In a report in the current online edition of JAMA Pediatrics, researchers from the UCLA Fiel...

Vitamin N Deficiency Linked to ADHD
Approximately 11 percent of children ages 4 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2011 statistics, accounting for 6.4 million cases nationwide. A majority are treated with stimulant medication often combined with behavioral therapy. For some, this approach is extremely helpful and leads to an improvement in quality of life and a reduction in risk taking behaviors often associated with ADHD. Not all cases, however, are successfully treated in this manner. Some will discontinue this approach due to its ineffectiveness or negative side effects leaving a void that still req...

The Mediterranean Diet Could Help Kids With ADHD
The Mediterranean diet is often celebrated for its health effects on the brain, especially later in life. Doctors recommend it for preventing Alzheimer’s and protecting the brain from aging. Now, research suggests the diet could also be beneficial for the brains of much younger people.
A study published Jan. 30 in the journal Pediatrics found that children with “low adherence” to the traditional Mediterranean diet were seven times more likely to have ADHD than children with a strong adherence to the diet. In general, children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ate more sugar and processed ...

Childhood comorbidity and parental mental health problems appear to be associated with ADHD persistence

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...

Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of adults with ADHD: a meta-review
In conclusion, while available evidence addressed mainly the efficacy and tolerability of psychostimulants and non-psychostimulants for ADHD core symptoms in the short term, we still need further empirical support for the non-pharmacological and multimodal treatments. A comprehensive evidence-informed hierarchy of ADHD drugs based on their efficacy and tolerability is not yet available but it should be the next research priority in the field.

Why it's time to investigate the overlap between autism and ADHD
The most influential psychiatric handbook prohibited a joint diagnosis of autism and ADHD until 2013. But the link could be significantUntil as late as 2013 a joint (or comorbid) diagnosis ofautism andattention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was not permitted by the most influential psychiatric handbook, theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The DSM is an essential tool in psychiatry as it allows clinicians and researchers to use a standard framework for classifying mental disorders. Health insurance companies and drug regulation agencies also use the DSM, so its definition of what does or ...
