    ADHD and Gut Health: Surprising Insights from New Research (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    “What happens in the gut does not stay in the gut.” What does gut health have to do with ADHD? More than you might think. Emerging research points to surprising connections between the gut microbiome, neurodivergence, and overall health. “When [gut microbiota] eat the food you’re eating — when they digest the fiber you’re eating, the healthy oils you’re eating — they produce certain molecules that will be beneficial for the whole body, including for ADHD,” said Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas, a clini

    Exploring the ADHD-Inflammation Link (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    “Does recognizing the role of immune inflammatory processes change the way we think about ADHD and having ADHD?” A growing body of research links ADHD to inflammatory and immune conditions ranging from asthma and rheumatoid arthritis to gut issues, allergies, and more. Several pathways and underlying mechanisms may explain the connections, but it’s unknown whether inflammation drives ADHD, ADHD drives inflammation, or shared factors are to blame. Regardless, the link begs a larger question, acco

    Why Women and Older Adults with ADHD Are Still Suffering (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    How can clinicians better identify ADHD in these underrepresented groups? Persistence of symptoms and “reverse diagnosis” may be key, among other recommendations. ADHD is the second most prevalent psychiatric diagnosis among adults, but few, if any, clinicians receive training in the evaluation and treatment of this dimensional condition. Critically left behind are women and people over 60 — two underrepresented groups in ADHD care — given the field’s persistent focus on young boys. This is why

    No, Stimulants Don’t Cause Substance Use Problems (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    ADHD medication does not cause later substance use problems, research shows. On the contrary, ADHD medication appears to reduce risk for severe outcomes. Does stimulant medication increase risk for substance use disorder and developing an addiction? The question is valid. People with ADHD are at greater risk, after all, for using substances and for developing dependence. And stimulant medication — the first-line treatment for ADHD — is classified by the FDA as a Schedule II controlled substances

    Why Do ADHD and Mood Disorders So Often Overlap? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Shared neurobiological underpinnings help explain why mood disorders such as anxiety and depression so often co-occur with ADHD — and why distinguishing among them remains a clinical challenge. Up to 70% of adults with ADHD have at least one co-occurring condition. Mood disorders like anxiety and depression are the most common “comorbidities,” though that term insufficiently captures the realities of living with multiple conditions. “I really like to think of this as more of a multi-morbidity,”
