An Albany program is helping college students with learning differences gain confidence and life skills. Griffin Elmore, who has ADHD and autism, graduated in May from Fulton Montgomery Community College. He tells NewsChannel13’s Ally Hoy that school—and staying focused—wasn’t always easy. “It was tough to really lock in,” he said.

In recent years, there has been growing interest among adults with ADHD in the practice of microdosing classic psychedelics such as psilocybin and LSD. The internet is full of personal accounts describing improved concentration, better impulse control and enhanced well-being. However, a recent review conducted by researchers from Wroclaw Medical University shows that the currently…

When James Madison University (JMU) student Madalynn Nofplot (’26) approached Health Sciences professor Raihan Khan with an idea about listening to music and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), neither expected the results would challenge some common assumptions about studying and concentration. What began as Nofplot’s Honors Capstone grew into a published study in Psychiatry International with co-authors…

Living with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be challenging, especially for children. While medication and behavioral therapies are common treatments, more families are looking into complementary options like animal-assisted interventions (AAIs). But do these methods really make a difference? A recent study published in Frontiers in Psychiatry sheds some light on this question.

Summary: Researchers analyzed audio-video recording archives tracking 12-month-old infants and their mothers. The team discovered that when mothers displayed a slower latency (vocal response time) to their 1-year-old child’s natural babbles and vocalizations, that child was statistically more likely to be diagnosed with a disruptive behavior disorder (DBD) or Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by age…

Key Takeaways: Sibling-matched data in Hong Kong showed that prenatal acetaminophen exposure did not increase autism or ADHD risk. Negative-control analyses suggested that associations seen in earlier studies may reflect maternal health and family factors, not medication effects. The findings align with prior sibling studies and recent Danish evidence showing no excess autism risk with…

New research from The University of Queensland has revealed that while non-medical use of prescription stimulants is relatively uncommon in Australia, it is often linked to broader patterns of substance use and higher-risk behaviours. Led by researcher Ben Johnson from UQ’s School of Psychology and the National Centre for Youth Substance Use Research, the study…
