teen pregnancy symptom psychology

  • “Psychological distress does not appear to be caused by teen childbearing, nor does it cause teen childbearing, except apparently among girls from poor households,”
  • Only the combination of poverty and existing distress was a good predictor of teen pregnancy.
  • nationally representative studies had not examined if distress was present before the pregnancy and stresses of young motherhood.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Psychologically distressed girls are at risk for teen childbearing and vice versa, even if the two things usually do not cause each other,” Mollborn said. “This could help educators and clinicians identify at-risk adolescents.”
  • One of the best ways to prevent teen pregnancy is for teens to have long-term goals and good self-esteem, Merritt added.

Functional brain pathways disrupted in children with ADHD - 0 views

  • researchers have identified abnormalities in the brains of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that may serve as a biomarker for the disorder,
  • ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders, affecting an estimated five to eight percent of school-aged children.
  • "Diagnosing ADHD is very difficult because of its wide variety of behavioral symptoms," said lead researcher Xiaobo Li, Ph.D., assistant professor of radiology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Compared to the normal control group, the children with ADHD showed abnormal functional activity in several regions of the brain involved in the processing of visual attention information
  • "What this tells us is that children with ADHD are using partially different functional brain pathways to process this information, which may be caused by impaired white matter pathways involved in visual attention information processing," Dr. Li said.
  • According to the National Institute of Mental Health, there is no single test capable of diagnosing a child with the disorder. As a result, difficult children are often incorrectly labeled with ADHD while other children with the disorder remain undiagnosed.
