The authors investigated the efficacy of a 12-week manualized meta-cognitive therapy group intervention designed to enhance time management, organization, and planning in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Eighty-eight clinically referred who met DSM-IV criteria for ADHD according clinical structured diagnostic interviews standardized questionnaires were stratified by medication use otherwise randomly assigned receive or supportive psychotherapy modality....
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent psychiatric of childhood. There considerable evidence that brain dopamine involved in ADHD, but it unclear whether activity enhanced or depressed.To test hypotheses striatal depressed ADHD and this contributes to symptoms inattention.Clinical (ADHD adult) comparison (healthy control) subjects were scanned with positron emission tomography raclopride labeled carbon 11 (D2/D3 receptor radioligand sensitive competition...
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness a new manualized group Meta-Cognitive Therapy (MCT) for adults with ADHD that extends principles and practices cognitive-behavioral therapy development executive self-management skills.Thirty diagnosed completed an 8- or 12-week program designed target impairments in time management, organization, planning skills. Treatment efficacy measured using pre- posttreatment self-report standardized measures (CAARS-S:L & Brown ADD...
Abstract This study evaluated children's symptoms 3 and 9 months after the 1993 bombing of World Trade Center, relationship between parent child reactions when only children had been in building. Nine who trapped an elevator, 13 on observation deck, 27 controls completed Posttraumatic Stress Reaction Index a Fear Inventory. Parents these measures about comparable themselves. Exposed reported posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) disaster‐related fears; their parents experiencing PTSD...
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the social functioning children with Combined (CB) and Predominantly Inattentive (PI) subtypes Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), controlling for comorbidity medication-status, which may have confounded results previous research. Method: Parents teachers rigorously diagnosed unmedicated PI or CB ADHD, typical comparison children, rated them on multidimensional Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS). Results: After co-varying...
To examine the neurophysiological basis for pronounced differences in hyperactivity and impulsiveness that distinguish predominantly inattentive type of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-PI) from combined (ADHD-C).Event-related brain responses to a go/no-go test inhibitory control were measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) 11 children ADHD-C 9 ADHD-PI, aged 7 13 years, who matched age, sex, intelligence.There no significant group task performance. Children...
Background: A literature search found five empirical studies of psychological treatment for adults with ADHD, out 1,419 articles on ADHD in adults. Practice guidelines to date all recommend multimodal intervention, given that a significant number patients cannot tolerate, do not respond to, or fail reach optimal outcomes medication alone. Method: This article provides review and the recommendations forum experts ADHD. Results: Empirical brief, structured, short-term interventions demonstrate...
Objective: This study compared the methylphenidate (MPH) dose–response profiles of children with Predominantly Inattentive (PI) and Combined (CB) subtypes attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is first such to enroll a sample comprised exclusively children, all but one whom had no prior exposure ADHD medications. Method: The design was double-blind crossover 1-week exposures placebo low, medium, high, fixed, three times daily (t.i.d.) dosage regimens immediate-release MPH,...
ABSTRACT Empirical attempts to correlate behavioral and physiological responses of hyperactive children methylphenidate treatment have been complicated by methodological issues, including the demonstrated heterogeneity in pool children, need consider both dose‐response timeaction parameters drug action. Ten selected according objective criteria, were each assessed 3 placebo days varying dosage. Heart rate, finger temperature, electrodermal variables, gross motor activity, serial reaction...
This purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness a new group cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) enhance executive function (EF) in college students with ADHD.Eighteen meeting rigorous DSM-5 criteria for ADHD were enrolled two nine-member groups. The targeted time-awareness, distractibility, procrastination, failure plan, included strategies facilitate academic EF skills.Eighty-four percent attended nine or more 12 weekly sessions. Repeated measures...
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) occurs in as many 4 percent of adults yet it is often not recognized clinical settings because the presenting symptoms may resemble those seen other disorders or be masked by commonly comorbid conditions such anxiety and depression.The purpose this study was to examine diagnostic utility instruments used assessment with ADHD.We reviewed several widely self-report laboratory measures empirically examined Brown Attention-Deficit Disorder Scale...
It has been suggested that bipolar disorder (BD) with comorbid ADHD represents a distinct clinical phenotype of BD. There are no data regarding potential heterogeneity between BD subjects diagnosis in childhood whose remitted adulthood (cADHD-BD) vs. patients persistent (aADHD-BD). This may constitute confounder investigations the nature co-occurrence and ADHD. The aim this paper is to compare without ADHD, those aADHD-BD, cADHD-BD on temperamental characteristics, hypothesizing maladaptive...
Objective: To empirically identify the appropriate symptom threshold for hyperactivity-impulsivity diagnosis of ADHD in adults. Method: Participants were 88 adults ( M [ SD] age = 41.69 [11.78] years, 66% female, 16% minority) meeting formal DSM-IV criteria combined or predominantly inattentive subtypes based on a structured diagnostic interview keyed to (Conners’ Adult Diagnostic Interview [CAADID]). All participants also completed Conners’ Rating Scale (CAARS), which was normed general...
