Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are distinct conditions, but they do share some similar symptoms and may even occur together at the same time. This can create complications when it comes to diagnosis and treatment.

A meta-analysis exploring the relationship between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and cannabis consumption found that 27% of individuals with ADHD develop cannabis use disorder at some point in their lives, with 19% suffering from it at the time of data collection.

Medical students who report having a disability are less likely to match into a residency program, according to a new Yale study involving residency programs across the United States. The findings, researchers say, suggest students with disabilities may experience barriers to training and career opportunities, particularly in certain medical specialties.

New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London has found that the effectiveness of ADHD medication may be associated with an individual’s neuroanatomy.

It’s been over a year since the U.S Food and Drug Administration announced a shortage in drugs used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the owner of a Columbia pharmacy said he still experiences the impacts of the shortage for many of his customers.

An increase in awareness about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD has led to more people being diagnosed with the disorder and wider recognition of challenges faced by neurodivergent workers. But the uptick has had an unintended side effect — difficulty finding doctors and a nationwide shortage of stimulants used to treat ADHD such as…

Time has evaded us all at one point or another. You might have overestimated how long dinner would take to cook, realized you’d planned to return a phone call hours ago or found yourself heading out the door 20 minutes later than you intended.
