Researchers and clinicians say the shortage is due to limits on manufacturing and sales of the medications, and supply chain problems.

Children who were fully breastfed for longer periods showed modestly fewer ADHD symptoms from ages 3 to 8, even after researchers accounted for genetic and family-related factors, suggesting early feeding patterns may play a small but meaningful role in neurodevelopment.

Key point: Misuse of prescription ADHD stimulants among adults had declined in recent years, a trend that researchers suggested may be linked to worldwide medication shortages.

Alienated by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claims about autism, advocates for disabled students are sounding the alarm about the Trump administration’s shifting special education programs to his department.

Genetic likelihood for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder directly predicts irregular timing in the brain waves responsible for focus and goal-directed behavior. This objective link between a person’s genetic profile and their neural activity provides a measurable target for understanding how the condition develops. The research was recently published in the journal Translational Psychiatry.

Key point: Researchers proposed a unified biological model for ADHD, suggesting that heritable genetic vulnerabilities and environmental exposures interacted during sensitive developmental windows, which increased disease risk.

The College of Idaho is proud to celebrate the academic achievement of Mary King, MSPAS, MPH, PA-C, CAQ-Psychiatry, a Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) candidate in the College’s PA Fellowship track, whose first peer-reviewed research article has been published in Clinical and Translational Neuroscience. King co-authored the narrative review, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Sport-Related Concussion in…

Key point: Despite comorbid major depressive disorder shifting prescribing patterns for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder toward nonstimulant medications, central nervous system stimulants were associated with more favorable clinical outcomes in youths.

Recent Deakin research into the experiences of neurodivergent students studying for future health care careers showed many experience stigma, inadequate help in classroom and clinical settings, and hard-to-navigate support systems. The study, led by Associate Professor Laura Gray from the Damion Drapac Center for Equity in Health Professions Education, surveyed 183 graduate students from universities…

Jami Shapiro talks to ‘Parents’ about how a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis changed her attitude toward parenting.

Actress Busy Philipps, 45, spoke up about her late attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis online after realizing she shared symptoms as her young daughter was evaluated and diagnosed. Women are more likely than men to be diagnosed with ADHD later in life, research shows.

Hundreds of parents are taking major baby food makers like Gerber to task in a series of recently-filed lawsuits that accuse the companies of “systemic poisoning” that left their children disabled.
