Newest firstPrenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) leads to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), the most common preventable cause of neurodevelopmental impairment. The classical narrative attributes the clinical picture of FASD exclusively to direct ethanol-induced brain injury. In the present review, we argue that this perspective is incomplete and leads to diagnostic errors, most often to the misdiagnosis of ADHD in children w…
Open article record in new tab ↗AimsThis exploratory study investigated the associations between cannabis use, methylphenidate (MPH) exposure, demographic factors, and radiographically detected pulp stones.Materials and MethodsA retrospective case‐control study was conducted to analyze the records of 200 adults (100 with pulp stones and 100 controls) treated at a university dental clinic (2020–2023). The variables included age, sex, cannabis use…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background:Individuals with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk for cannabis misuse, with increasing prevalence among young adults. Existing evidence suggests that cannabis can have therapeutic effects on ADHD symptoms, and continued use may be partly driven by perceived improvements in symptom-related deficits. To investigate the neural evidence for these associations, we integra…
Introduction This meta-analysis quantified the dangers of driving with untreated ADHD and compares consequences for untreated drivers with ADHD to those of better publicized accident risk factors. Methods A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of published data was performed to determine the correlation between driving with untreated ADHD and motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). Separate analyses were perform…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundA study conducted in Norway showed that the association between pupil mental health diagnoses and educational attainment has weakened over time. One possible explanation is that earlier detection of mental health problems in recent years has facilitated earlier treatment, intervention, and educational support that might improve academic outcomes. We investigated whether the weakening association between…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction Nitrous oxide (N2O) is used for anesthetic purposes but has gained popularity as a recreational substance. Despite its potentially severe adverse effects, knowledge about N2O use within psychiatric populations is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the life-time prevalence and patterns of N2O consumption among patients with psychiatric disorders. Methods A retrospective observational cohort study wa…
Background Several studies have reported associations between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and substance use disorders (SUD). However, sex-differences in ADHD and SUD, especially when associated with other psychiatric comorbidities, are less studied. Objective To compare the prevalence of SUD among individuals with and without ADHD to describe groups, defined by sex and psychiatric comorbidity,…
Background Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a childhood onset chronic disorder in which motor and vocal tics co-occur. Cannabinoids are a potential therapeutic option for otherwise treatment resistant patients. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding potential side effects. This is particularly important in relation to activities being necessary for daily life such as driving a car. Case presentation We present the…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Cannabis use is elevated in youth with depression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but drivers of this increase remain underexplored. The self-medication hypothesis suggests cannabis is used by patients for mood regulation, a common difficulty in ADHD and depression. This study aimed to examine associations between mood instability and cannabis use in a large, representative clinical…
Objective Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children and adolescents. Diagnoses of ADHD often rely on subjective ratings from parents and teachers. This study investigated the feasibility of using objective activity monitoring data collected through wearable activity trackers for ADHD diagnosis and monitoring in adolescents. Method A longitudinal study wa…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective Although peripheral endocannabinoid system (ECS) signatures have been implicated in ADHD among European and American populations, evidence from Asian pediatric cohorts remains scarce. This study quantified serum concentrations of four major endocannabinoids-anandamide (AEA), 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), oleoylethanolamide (OEA), and palmitoylethanolamide (PEA)-in treatment-naïve Han Chinese children wi…
Objective Despite the increasing amount of data showing the presence of high association between gender dysphoria (GD) and autism spectrum disorders, less is known on the association between GD and other neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and clinical features of ADHD in a group of adults with a primary diagnosis…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundChild mental health is a critical public health concern in the United States. This study examines the multifaceted determinants of child mental health, including demographic, socioeconomic, family, healthcare access, and chronic health condition information. MethodsThis study utilized data from the National Survey of Childrens Health (NSCH). Univariate, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression mo…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundWhen receiving an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis, children and families/carers need clear and accurate information about the condition in a suitable format. However, many of the available resources are complex or provide content that is not evidence-based. Furthermore, there are limited studies that co-develop digital resources with and for children, particularly those with ADH…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Methylphenidate (MPH), a central nervous system stimulant primarily prescribed for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has seen increasing rates of misuse and abuse, particularly in patients with dual diagnosis (co-occurring psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders/SUDs). The heightened risk of dependence and adverse effects in these vulnerable populations warrants a systematic rev…
IntroductionAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was originally treated as a neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs mainly in children and tends to diminish or disappear with age, but we now know that symptoms persist into adulthood in over 50% of ADHD patients. Undiagnosed individuals often turn to psychoactive substance to minimize the negative aspects of functioning and improve quality of life.Metho…
Open article record in new tab ↗The present study sought to identify differences in the rates and predictors of risky sexual behavior among college students with and without attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Current ADHD diagnosis, medication status among those with ADHD, executive functioning, substance use, comorbid anxiety, comorbid depression, and gender were identified as potential predictors of increased risky sexual behavio…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundPopulation-based studies have observed sex biases in the diagnosis and treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Females are less likely to be diagnosed or prescribed ADHD medication. This study uses national healthcare records, to investigate sex differences in diagnosis and clinical care in young people with ADHD, particularly regarding recognition and treatment of other mental heal…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Substance use disorders (SUDs) continue to be a public health problem. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is seen as a risk factor for SUD. Prevalence of alcohol and cannabis use amongst adults with SUD and comorbid ADHD impacts both disorders cognitively and behaviourally. Aim Our study aimed to compare alcohol and cannabis use between treatment-seeking SUD patients with ADHD and SUD patie…
