“Current clinical guidelines that do not typically link sleep/circadian complaints to QoL in ADHD assessment.” Been harping about this for a while. If one understands the neurobiology of ADHD - Sleep, Cognition, Activity and Emotion are linked. x.com/sanilrege/stat…

Excited to share my first-author paper in @BMJMentalHealth! We developed GPT-4o prompts for screening in a living systematic review, achieving 100% sensitivity for included studies & simulating a 65-85% reduction in workload. mentalhealth.bmj.com/content/28/1/e…
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (#ADHD) symptoms are associated with lower #QualityOfLife (QoL) in adults, and this association is only partially mediated by #Insomnia severity. Study in @BMJMentalHealth Read more: bit.ly/46GpYll #MedTwitter

Thank you @BMJMentalHealth for your understanding the need for CLARIFICATION in regards to Neurodevelopmental Disorder&levels of affliction. Direct demographic’s research is best road forward with Taylor supports representative in research/studies. You highly recommended follow😀
We understand this is a deeply felt issue. Access to appropriate, evidence-based therapies is essential. We welcome diverse perspectives to help advance care that’s safe, ethical, and effective for all. Thank you 🙏🏼
I very much appreciate that.
Interesting findings indeed! It's crucial to recognize the multifaceted impacts of ADHD traits beyond attention deficits, such as how insomnia interplays with quality of life. I wonder, could other factors like stress or lifestyle choices also influence this relationship?…
Powerfully said. Emotional suppression carries a cost. As educators and clinicians; we must model compassionate, sustainable practice for our patients & ourselves. Thank you 🙏🏼
For decades, we've watched trainees learn to equate emotional suppression with professionalism. That psychological debt always comes due. As educators, our duty isn't just to teach medicine, but to model a healthier, more sustainable way to practice it.
This is a crucial topic! Understanding causal risk factors and improving risk stratification can significantly impact suicide prevention efforts. Have any recent methodologies stood out in synthesizing evidence effectively within this field? #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention For…
Urgent need for better training, funding & service access for #TouretteSyndrome We need the support of @NICEComms @NHSEngland @DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting if we are ever going to #LevelUp and stop the postcode lottery that currently exists. @MJGroom @CBabbage_ @InstituteMH

This is indeed concerning. Bridging the gap in #tic and #Tourette syndrome services is crucial for children's well-being and future development. What measures could be implemented to improve training and funding? Also, are there examples from other countries that have…

Yet another reason I can’t tolerate the anti behavioural intervention “actually🙄autistic” SelfDx&”identity” adultDX crew😡Antipsychotics are handed out like candy to kids autismDx. When what’s needed is therapy access addressing MALADAPTIVE behaviour=better long term outcomes.
Psych meds way over- prescribed in kids: 1)without clear indication 2)serious short term side effects/long term impact 3)Not enough therapy/family,school,social support 4)Poor/minority kids most harmed 5)Need much better guidelines/monitoring I love practical studies like this:
