Can brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnose ADHD? Unfortunately, but unequivocally, no. No brain imaging modality — MRI, SPECT scan, T.O.V.A, or other — can accurately diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD).Despite what you may have read in the popular press, none of these tools can be used reliably as accurate, stand-alone diagnostic tools to identify ADHD.

Tests like the T.O.V.A. and continuous performance task may be helpful in giving the diagnosing clinician additional information, but in isolation they are not diagnostic, and they shouldn’t be used to diagnose ADHD.Why?

An individual could do very poorly on the T.O.V.A., but not because they have ADHD. For example, someone who is profoundly depressed is

How the Pandemic May Revive the Original American Dream
Once upon a time, the American Dream had little to do with climbing the ladder of success or having the financial resources to own a house or retire to a warm sunny place.  When James Truslow Adams articulated the American Dream in 1931, in fact, he did not praise the value of ambition or advocate the pursuit of wealth, thinking instead that it was exactly those things that had led Americans astray in the 1920s and ultimately caused the Great Depression.

How I'm Emerging From Depression, Even In Self-Isolation

I hid from it all, beneath the pillows of my bed, in front of mindless television, inside the confines of my little home while it’s been raining. This is a winter none of us could ever have predicted.

When the stay-at-home orders hit, and people all over the country began hunkering down to wait out the worst of the crisis, I found myself alone in a way I had never expected. My roommate unexpectedly moved out in February, and for the first time in my life, I was living completely alone. Since I’m a homebody by nature, you’d think I’d relish having an apartment to myself. That might be the case under normal circumstances, but I wasn’t prepared for the loneliness of living alone during a pandemic.

Learn Right Now! 7 Secrets to Engaged Online Learning for Students with ADHD
Online learning has its perks: namely, more flexibility and less anxiety. But for struggling students, the absence of face-to-face communication, verbal queues, and emotional connections can cause school motivation and progress to plummet. Robust, project-based, experiential learning — not learning by passively listening and reading — is best for ADHD brains. That is largely impossible in quarantine, so what can parents and educators do?

Is Your Relationship Better Than You Think?
Leo Tolstoy famously opens his novel Anna Karenina with the words, "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Statisticians have derived from here something they've come to call the "Anna Karenina principle"—roughly, the idea that success in any enterprise requires that everything go right: remove a single important prerequisite, and your endeavor will fail. [1] Say the preconditions of success are A, B, C, and D.

[Self-Test] ADHD Symptoms in Women
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not gender biased. ADHD symptoms exist almost as often in girls as they do in boys, and the majority of kids with ADHD never outgrow it. What’s more, scientific research strongly suggests that ADHD is hereditary. Which means that, if you are the mother of a child with attention and impulsivity problems, you may have ADHD, too.

Q: In the Age of e-Learning, How Can I Police My Child’s Computer Use?
Q: “All of my son’s schoolwork is done on his computer. He’s using it for the day-to-day work, to reference his assignments on his class home pages, to download his teachers’ slideshows, to conduct research, and to search for answers to homework questions. And, of course, I see him scrolling endlessly on Instagram or watching videos instead of doing what he needs to. I’ve tried turning off the Wi-Fi, but that only works when he’s writing a paper. How can I get him to do the work he needs to do without him constantly policing his computer use?” — GeorgiaMom
