Empathy is characterized by the ability to understand and share an emotional experience with another person closely tied compassion concern for others. Consequently, this increased awareness sensitivity may also be related anxiety. Taken from perspective, higher general anxiety translate into others, or how one's actions might affect therefore linked empathy. Furthermore, self-reflection positively perspective-taking empathic concern, while rumination anxiety, thus providing additional...
Abstract Children with ADHD often exhibit fluctuations in attention and heightened reward sensitivity. Psychostimulants, such as methylphenidate (MPH), improve these behaviors many, but not all, children ADHD. Given the extent to which psychostimulants are prescribed for children, coupled variable efficacy on an individual level, a better understanding of mechanisms through MPH changes brain function behavior is necessary. MPH’s primary action catecholamines, including dopamine...
Objective First, to compare QOL and illness perceptions between patients with a Fontan circulation anatomically simple defects (ie, atrial septal [ASD] or ventricular [VSD]). Second, explore as mediator of the association congenital heart disease (CHD) diagnosis QOL. Design Cross-sectional observational study. Setting Twenty-four cardiology centers from 15 countries across five continents. Patients Four hundred thirty-five adult (177 258 ASD/VSD) ages 18-83 years. Outcome Measures were...
Objective: A subset of children with ADHD experience more frequent, sudden, and intense shifts toward negative emotions. The current study utilized ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to provide a valid the impact comorbid internalizing externalizing disorders on emotional lability (EL) among ADHD. Method: Parents 58, 8- 12-year-old were administered diagnostic interview assess for presence disorders. completed EMA-based ratings their child’s emotions three times daily total 28 days....
Abstract Children with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit marked difficulty frequent and intense shifts in negative or positive emotions, referred to as emotional lability. This study examines the relationships between lability (NEL), ADHD, reactive proactive aggression. A community sample of 96 children (53 43 control) ages 8–12 their parents completed a baseline session include diagnostic structured interview Reactive–Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPAQ). Parents...
There is mixed evidence for whether in-person victimization and cyber are differentially linked to internalizing symptoms self-esteem among adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The goals of the present study were (1) evaluate in relation (i.e., anxiety depression) (2) examine differences between victimization, polyvictimization both victimization).Participants 78 (ages 13-17 years) diagnosed ADHD who completed ratings anxiety, depression, self-esteem. Parents...
Response inhibition and sustained attention are critical for higher-order cognition rely upon specific patterns of functional brain network organization. This study investigated how networks reconfigure to execute these cognitive processes during a go/no-go task with without the presence rewards in 26 children between ages 8 12 years. First, we compared performance standard rewarded versions task. We found that reduced commission error rate, measure considered indicate improved response...
Abstract Methylphenidate (MPH) is the recommended first-line treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While MPH’s mechanism of action as a dopamine and noradrenaline transporter blocker well known, how this translates to ADHD-related symptom mitigation still unclear. As functional connectivity reliably altered in ADHD, with recent literature indicating dysfunctional dynamics well, one possible through altering brain network dynamics. In double-blind, placebo-controlled...
