JAMA Psychiatry’s Post

Most viewed in the last 7 days from JAMA Psychiatry: RCTs using probably blinded outcomes do not support the use of neurofeedback as a stand-alone ADHD treatment. https://ja.ma/41Q7tZf

ADULT ADHD: This is a hugely important, yet occasionally controversial topic. Nationa;l Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) and an academic researcher and clinician get together to write this timely Opinion piece in JAMA Psychiatry. Here, in under three minutes, I offer you a quick review of the most important points from the article.

He's one of the nation’s leading experts in ADHD (as well as being ranked among the Top 100 Psychiatry faculty members in the US), and today Dr Scott Kollins reveals why this complex condition is more common than most employers think. In today's illuminating piece, he explains how CHROs can better understand and cater for employees with ADHD: https://hubs.li/Q02wm0dW0

Visualizing healthcare: How we used animation to raise awareness of ADHD in people with Intellectual Disabilities 🎬  To shed some light on this niche area of the condition, we partnered with Bhathika Perera of the UCL Division of Psychiatry to produce a comprehensive film outlining this unique combination of conditions, their effect and the benefit of diagnosis.

I'll be presenting at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) conference in Seattle tomorrow (Wednesday)! My talk is entitled "Effects of a Digital Program for Depression on Clinical and Functional Outcomes in Adolescents". If you're interested in digital interventions and increasing access to effective mental healthcare, I'd love to connect at the conference! #digitalhealth #AACAP2024 #adolescentmentalhealth

🚀 Telapsychiatry aims to improve access to care for conditions like ADHD through offering assessment and treatment via telemedicine. The Creyos ADHD testing protocol also allows Dr. Ozan Toy to incorporate cognitive testing, beyond what is traditionally offered in psychiatry, to boost diagnostic accuracy, objectively track outcomes, and deliver services more accessibly. Discover how technology is reshaping psychiatry and making cognitive testing more accessible in this case study with Telapsychiatry here: https://hubs.li/Q02YB5XG0 #ADHD #Telemedicine #AccesstoCare

A recent review article published in the Iranian Journal of psychiatry examined the level of brain complexity in psychiatric disorders and found that dementia, autism, and adult ADHD had lower complexity in their neurophysiologic signals compared to healthy controls. However, children with ADHD, drug-naïve young schizophrenic patients with positive symptoms, and patients with mood disorders showed higher complexity in their neurophysiologic signals. The brain's complexity arises from the interaction of neural circuits across different scales. https://lnkd.in/gpneMjF4 https://lnkd.in/ggyQ397X
