Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is:A neurobiological disorder that presents in childhood with the core symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulse control problems.The symptoms are present across multiple domains: social, domestic, academic, as well as cognitive and behavioral functioning.Pathogenesis: not very well understood. Deficits are in area of:- Frontal-subcortical areas dealing with executive function- May also involve working memory impairments and information processing speed deficitsNeuroimaging shows structural brain abnormalities in ADHD: - smaller volumes of frontal cortex, cerebellum, and subcortical structures. - Abnormalities in the prefrontal and parietal circuits.Early studies suggest that the subcortical abnormalities noted in childhood normalize in adulthood but that cortical abnormalities may last.Studies suggest hypoactivity of dopamine and norepinephrine in the frontal-subcortical circuits contributes to presentation.Genetically, risk of ADHD in parents or siblings is increased 2-8x and twin studies show heritability of 76%.ADHD is a syndrome with two core symptom categories: hyperactivity/impulsivity and inattention.
One potential intervention for attention problems is to get rid of digital distractions. I use Zenze - a robust app-blocking app which allows you to block any apps or content you'd like according to whatever schedule you'd like. You can block social media apps during work hours or video streaming at night - whatever you need. Personally, I use it to block all social media/video/entertainment apps at nighttime to prevent bedtime binging.

#Schizophrenia is a very misunderstood mental illness. It is not "split personality" (or dissociative identity disorder), but rather a chronic, long-standing (6+ month) pattern of delusions, hallucinations, disorganized behavior, etc. There are #genetic risks to developing the illness and #cannabis likely increases risk. According to the "Dunedin" study, Archives of General Psychiatry 2000, those who used cannabis at age 15 were 4x more likely to develop schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder.

Research into MDMA-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) shows impressive results.
See my ABC News article on the trial results here
Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master's thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients. His undergraduate thesis at New College of Florida was a 25-year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment, which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He also conducted a thirty-four-year follow-up study to Timothy Leary's Concord Prison Experiment. Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner. His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist. He founded MAPS in 1986.
Here is my interview with Rick about MAPS' latest Phase III Clinical Trial for MDMA-assisted therapy as a treatment for PTSD. In the trial, they enrolled 90 participants and randomly assigned 46 to receive MDMA-assisted therapy, while the other 44 participants were given a placebo with identical talk therapy. This therapy went on for 18 weeks. Ultimately, 67% of those in the MDMA-assisted therapy group no longer had PTSD after three sessions, compared to 32% in the placebo with therapy group.

Dr. Nicholas Norwitz, PhD, is a new shining star in nutrition science. This 25-year-old Ivy League Valedictorian obtained his PhD at Oxford University in just two years and is now pursing his MD at Harvard Medical School. His research expertise is ketosis and brain aging; however, he has published scientific papers on topics ranging from neuroscience to heart disease to gastrointestinal health to genetics to bone health to diabetes.
Nick’s passion for Food as Medicine is founded in personal history. At eighteen years old, he developed severe osteoporosis, a bone disease that crippled his promising running career. Next, Nick developed ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease so severe as to cause him to lose twenty percent of his body weight in weeks and end up in the palliative care ward of a hospital with a heart rate in the twenties.
Through scientific self-study, Nick discovered his salvation in a ketogenic diet. He reversed his osteoporosis and colitis and is thriving! But Nick is grateful for his apparent misfortunes. In his words, “The most remarkable part of my story is that it’s not unique. The healthcare system isn’t built to address metabolic diseases. For that, we need metabolic medicine rooted in nutrition. My lifelong goal is to help reform the system and educate people. Plus, I’d like to think being a patient has made me a more compassionate person.”
