If you live with any chronic illness, you’re probably familiar with ‘flare fear.’ Because it’s exactly how it sounds: it’s the fear of another flare impending on your life. I’d bet that the worst moment of flare fear is when your doctor declares you in remission once again. You’re exhausted, emotionally drained, and you’ve likely dedicated every last ray of hope to this moment. At least that’s how I go through flares. I do what I can and quietly await the moment of a clear colonoscopy. Then when it comes, you realize you’ve been holding your breath for the last several months in anticipation.

I used to think of health as a straight line, and on one end, you were really healthy. On the other end, you were sick, but “sick” meant something like the flu, or a bad cold. However, somewhere between my ulcerative colitis diagnosis and my first flare, I realized that health isn’t a straight line at all. It’s actually a fluid winding road that has sudden blind turns and changes in elevation. Sometimes there’s a fantastic view along the way, and other times the scenery is desolate, dry, and boring.

As parents, we often underestimate how much influence we have over our children. And whether we want to acknowledge it or not- the words we say to our children will one day be their inner voice.If you accept this fact, you can use it to your child’s advantage. How?

Nearly half of teens today say they use the Internet “almost constantly” and visit popular social media platforms several times a day.1 While most teens say the time they spend on social media is “about right,” 36% say they spend “too much” time on TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, and the like.1At the same time, there is growing concern over the negative effects of social media and excessive Internet use on teen mental health, including its links to anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other conditions. (To be clear, research has found both positive and negative associations between social media, Internet use, and wellbeing.3)Social media addiction and Internet addiction are not official diagnoses, but researchers are learning more about the intersection of media use and wellbeing, including what may constitute problematic use and behaviors.If you are concerned about your child or teen’s Internet use, answer the questions below and share the results with a licensed mental health professional.This self-test was adapted from The Problematic and Risky Internet Use Scale (PRIUSS).

October 20, 2022Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) — both omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids — may improve attention performance and impulsivity in healthy adolescents, according to a recent study published in European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. 1DHA consumption was associated with selective and sustained attention and executive conflict response.Researchers examined the associations between DHA, ALA, and attention function in 332 healthy Spanish adolescents aged 11 to 16 with equal gender distribution. Using the Attention Network Test (ANT), the study found that dietary DHA played a positive role in attention performance.

From baseball and basketball to judo and gymnastics, the sports world is filled with elite athletes who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) – and who have dominated in their respective athletics.Research suggests, in fact, that ADHD may be more common in elite athletes than it is in the general population; up to 8% of athletes have the condition compared to 2% to 7% of the general population.1Each of the athletes on this list has ADHD – either diagnosed in childhood, in the midst of their professional career, or years after retiring from the sport. Many say ADHD gives them an edge, while others say sports has given them a healthy outlet for their symptoms. Who would you add to this list?1 Han, D.

September 22, 2022Treatment that combines dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may deliver the greatest improvement in cognitive and emotional symptoms of ADHD in adults, according to a new study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders. Researchers investigated the effects of tDCS and DBT alone and together, and found that the combined multimodal treatment worked best at managing ADHD symptoms.1“Optimization of the clinical effects of DBT combined with tDCS represents a potential avenue to focus on brain plasticity and enhance the therapeutic effects,” researchers said.tDCS is a non-invasive brain modulation method where weak electrical currents pass through two electrodes placed over the scalp.2 DBT is a cognitive behavioral therapy that was initially used to treat chronic suicidal behaviors and borderline personality disorder (BPD).3Study participants included 80 adults with ADHD (63 females, 17 males) aged 18-45.
