Medication Plus Therapy Still the Most Effective ADHD Treatment, Study Finds — But Therapy May Be Catching UpWhile medication combined with cognitive behavioral therapy shows the quickest and most dramatic improvement on ADHD symptoms, CBT by itself becomes more and more effective as time goes on.
January 24, 2017
Medication is the most empirically validated treatment for ADHD, especially when used in conjunction with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). But for adults who cannot or prefer not to take medication, CBT is showing more merit as a standalone treatment. A new study confirms that medication paired with CBT is still the best treatment for ADHD; however, CBT alone works almost as well and becomes...

Certain ADHD Traits May Benefit Entrepreneurs, Study SaysThe first in a series of studies about entrepreneurs with ADHD indicates that traits like impulsivity and hyperfocus may promote business success — but the study’s authors say that more research is needed.
January 23, 2017
A professor of entrepreneurship — who himself has ADHD — has launched a series of studies investigating how entrepreneurs with ADHD are helped or hindered by their symptoms. The results of the first study — though far from conclusive — indicate that ADHD traits like impulsivity and hyperfocus may positively impact an entrepreneur’s business success.
The study, led by Professor Johan Wiklund and published...

Another Piece of the Puzzle? New Research Zeroes In On the Specific Genetic Components of ADHDResearchers have long known that the gene known as ADGRL3 is linked to ADHD, but they’ve not understood exactly how. Now, new research has identified a variation on the gene that may clarify the cause-and-effect pathway to ADHD.
January 10, 2017
ADHD is highly genetic, and one gene in particular has long been implicated it its development. That gene, ADGRL3, has common variations that have consistently been linked to ADHD in children and adults; some variations can even help researchers predict the severity of a patient’s ADHD symptoms. Now, a new study goes even further, finding a specific malfunction on the gene that is highly...

More Medical Students Have ADHD and Learning Disabilities Than Previously EstimatedNearly 3 percent of U.S. medical students have some form of disability, a much higher number than ever before estimated. This finding points to the need to decrease stigma and improve accommodations for these soon-to-be doctors.
January 9, 2017
Disabilities — including ADHD, learning disabilities, and mobility disabilities — may be more common in US medical students than ever before estimated, a new report finds. But remaining stigma — as well as accommodations that sometimes fall short of students’ needs — point to the need for further research and improved interventions for disability, the authors of the report say.
The researchers, who published their...

New Study: Test-Taking Accommodations May Fall Short for Students with ADHDA surprising new study finds that accommodations commonly used by students with ADHD when taking tests don’t always correlate with improved scores.
January 4, 2017
When students with ADHD secure IEPs, 504 plans, or informal school accommodations, their parents often consider it a victory — and hope that the accommodations will lead to an improved application of knowledge and skills, particularly on timed tests. But a recent study shows that commonly used testing accommodations, like extended time or regular breaks, don’t actually help students with ADHD perform better on...
