Childhood Maltreatment and PTSD Literature Review and Proposed StudyAlexandraPerkins5
This literature and proposed study explores several research articles relating to childhood maltreatment and PTSD. The second section proposes a hypothetical study to further explore a gap identified in the literature review.
We all know that individuals with fasd fulfil the requirements for DSM mental health diagnoses, usually receiving multiple DSM diagnoses.
So, it is not surprising that the more the behavioural mental health diagnoses are explored, beyond their own behavioural criteria, the more commonalities are found: in this case “delay discounting”.
However, there is already a term that is being used, Stuck In Set Perseveration.

CHAPTER NINE
Medicating Children
This chapter is divided into seven sections. Section One is an overview that discusses current trends in medicating children, problems the trends cause, and directions for the future. It also discusses developmental issues. Section Two focuses on stimulant medication and the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Section Three focuses on research on combined interventions and particularly the Multimodal Treatment Study (MTA study) of Children with ADHD. Section Four focuses on children taking mood stabilizers. Section Five focuses on antipsychotics and children. Sections Six and Seven focus on anxiolytics and antidepressants in children, respectively.
SECTION ONE: PERSPECTIVES, DILEMMAS, AND FUTURE PARADIGMS
Learning Objectives
• Understand the problematic increase in psychotropic medications for children despite a dearth of evidence of the effectiveness of these drugs.
• Have a general understanding of the impact of the FDA Modernization Act and the Best Pharmaceuticals Act for Children.
• Be able to state the “developmental unknowns” associated with giving kids psychotropic medications.
Thus far, we have explored the medical model and psychological, cultural, and social perspectives as they relate to psychopharmacology. In this chapter, we demonstrate that using psychotropic medications with children and adolescents raises particular problems and concerns from several perspectives. As discussed in Chapter Three, we frequently see explanations and justifications from the medical model perspective used to reduce childhood disorders to chemical and genetic problems, excluding crucial consideration of environmental traumas, developmental foreclosures, or life stressors.
We explore child and adolescent psychopharmacology primarily from the medical model perspective but complement this approach with information from the other perspectives (psychological, cultural, and social). We set the stage by exploring the current status of the treatment of children and adolescents with mental and emotional disorders. This chapter is structured differently from the others in this book. We begin by discussing the context from the social and cultural perspectives and the problems with prescribing psychotropic medications to children. Then we cover an introduction to stimulants used to treat symptoms of ADHD. Finally, we give the status of their current use since the last edition of the book if that is possible.
THE COMPLEX STATE OF THERAPY
Dr. Frank O'Dell, Professor Emeritus of Counseling in the College of Education and Human Services at Cleveland State University, has argued in all his lectures on counseling children and adolescents that the United States is an “anti-kid” society (Personal Communication, 2001). By that he means fewer and fewer therapists and psychiatrists choose to treat or continue to work with children in counseling. To support his argument, O'Dell points out that resources for childre.

Effectiveness of non-pharmacological in Comparison to
Methylphenidate Stimulant Therapy
Introduction
Attentive–deficit hyperactivity is a psychological disorder that is well known, affecting
both children and adults. Some of the associated symptoms that are associated with ADHD include
inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and difficulty in focusing. It is reported that in the United
States, about 8.5% of children are affected by ADHD. In the treatment process, several ways have
been put into place. Despite the treatment, many studies reported that some treatment methods
have side effects. Therefore, knowing the method that least has the side effects is crucial. This
research proposal will play an essential role as it will identify whether non-pharmacological
intervention, behavioral therapy, and stimulant therapy have the same results in children aged 4 to
8.
Background of the study
Dr. George first identified ADHD when he was a pediatrician. He noted that his patients
had uncontrollable impulsive behavior. There was an introduction of the drug Benzedrine, which
was approved as it showed to improve ADHD symptoms in children. In 1950 there was the
introduction of Ritalin drugs which were used in ADHD treatment in both children and
adolescents. (Holland & Higuera (2017). The drug that is used in the treatment of ADHD to date is
Ritalin. Despite the doctors treating patients with ADHD symptoms from the 1930s, there was no
actual definition of ADHD. Still, it was given much attention in 1987 when the American
Psychiatric Association (APA) redefinition of the disorder.
3
By 2020, approximately 7.1 million young children aging between 2-17 years with ADHD
had been diagnosed. (Garbe (2018). Despite the prevalence of the disorder among children and
adolescents, ADHD is also present in adulthood. In most cases, this disorder is noted when the
child gets into the class and starts issues of failing to focus on the classroom. There are different
forms of ADHD which entails hyperactive/impulsive type, inattentive type, or a combination of the
two. There is a criterion that is customarily utilized in the treatment of ADHD. The parents and the
teacher are required to document the children's symptoms for a period of six months. Research
shows that ADHD is more common in males than women. One of the interventions utilized is
stimulant therapy, considered standard treatment for children after reaching an appropriate age.
The stimulus, for example, the medication, is said to have side effects which can be either mild or
severe. Some noticeable side effects include upset stomach, appetite change, heart abnormalities,
tics, and weight loss. Although the treated symbols are 70-80% treated, there can be the utilization

Sparks, J., & Duncan, B. (2013). Outside the black box: Re-assessing pediatric antidepressant prescription. Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 22, 240-256.
Objective: The purpose of this review is to assess whether evidence supports a favorable risk/benefit profile for pediatric antidepressant use and reconsideration of the black box. Method: The review examines studies post-black box purporting to show declines in pediatric antidepressant use and rising youth suicide, summarizes evidence for efficacy and safety of pediatric antidepressants, and discusses irregularities in recent meta-analyses of fluoxetine for youth. Results: Pediatric antidepressant prescription did not significantly decline post-black box and youth suicide has risen only in recent years. Recent meta-analyses fail to undermine evidence that antidepressants are associated with increased risk of suicidality in youth. Conclusions: First line prescription of antidepressants for youth is not advisable. The black box and international warnings on pediatric use of antidepressants are warranted. Wider availability of psychosocial options for depressed youth is recommended.

Abstract
In recent a post, oppositional disorder diseases has been on the rise, raising questions about the manner in which diseases is spreading especially among children. The high prevalence levels of the oppositional disorder have raised more concerns especially form the health, sectors thus developing the need to understand the disorder better. This research paper will, therefore, encompass a broad perspective of oppositional disorder disease to effectively understand how it is manifested, various ways in which it manifests itself to develop preventive strategy much earlier before the situation reaches full-blown.
Unlike the common conduct disorder where the patient is more aggressive towards people and animals, the oppositional disorder is more silent, and it takes time for it to be detected. The lifetime prevalence of the disease is estimated to be 10.2%. The disease is mostly observed in children and adolescents across the globe.
Some of the common symptoms of the disease involve a certain behavior where children’s behavior is much different compared to their peers. A patient suffering from oppositional disorder tends to have a turn in their behavior including regular loose of temper, being angry and resentful, argues with authorities without any significant reason. It is importance to note that the persistence and frequency of these behaviors should be used to differentiate between normal behavior and symptoms of the oppositional disorder. The disease causes a massive effect on patient’s mental and physical wellbeing.
The most common cause of the oppositional disorder is the genetic influence. Research has shown that parents tend to pass on expressing disorder to their children, and it may be displayed in multiple ways. The disease can be easily diagnosed basing on the extent at which the change of behavior causes distress to the family members or drastic changes in academic and social functioning. These behaviors must persist.

Introduction
The treatment of ADHD and the approaches to be employed are reliant on several factors including the age of the individuals suffering the disease, whether to be employed with other approaches and the comorbidities present. ADHD is a major issue in public health and can have negative effects on the families of the patient and society as a whole. As such, understanding the underlying factors of ADHD, its diagnosis and treatment approaches is crucial to how well the condition will be dealt with in the future. This paper looks into six research articles as part of the Capstone project and their studies of ADHD related subjects.
Articles Synthesis
According to Lücke et al., 2017, CBT or cognitive behavioral therapy is characterized as the standard type of psychotherapy administered in adults suffering ADHD. The article recognizes that biological factors including chronic negative feedback during childhood can play a role in the characterization of ADHD as a developmental disorder and these cannot be addressed substantially using CBT. The article looks into schema therapy which has recently become popular for use as a therapy approach when it comes to chronic psychiatric disorders due to its effectiveness. The therapy is centered on the targeting and identification of beliefs and dysfunctional patterns that are formed from experiences during childhood and encapsulated as early maladaptive schemas. The article also looks into studies that were used to demonstrate the increased prevalence of these schemas in ADHD suffering adults. As such, it analyzes the effectiveness and utilization of schema therapy and its potential in utilizing maladaptive schemas to treat ADHD. The effectiveness of the approach is bolstered when there are the influence and existence of secondary problems including impaired self-perception and poor coping mechanisms (Lücke et al., 2017). The article also cites the importance of conducting controlled randomized clinical studies to support the adoption of the approach and the analysis of its effectiveness in treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD.
According to Pan et al., 2019, the article looks into a study that compares CBT alone to its combination with medication in terms of cognitive and social functions, self-esteem, emotional symptoms and core symptoms in patients suffering ADHD. The study provides proof that CBT is an effective approach when it comes to treating ADHD regardless of whether it is employed with medication or not. There were, however, broader improvements when CBT was employed with medication in executive function but not in clinical symptoms, as compared to the use of CBT alone. This would, therefore, provide a scientific basis for the clinical selection of tr.

Hello Lovelyne
Great presentation; I really enjoy reading your presentation about your patient Joey which is very informative. Autism Spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with tenacious predicaments in social communication and interaction in addition with limited, continual model of behaviors. According to study by Fitzpatrick et al; indicated that aggression behavior are noted to be increased in individual with ASD than when compared with other neurodevelopmental impairments (2016). This aggressive behavioral issues has been indicated by studies to relate with obstructive consequences for children diagnosed with ASD and their care providers resulting in reduced quality of life, heightened stress levels and decreased accessibility of educational and social adaptation/acceptance. Studies indicated that establishing effective therapeutic and pharmacological intervention approach for treatment as well as preventing aggressive behavior is imperative for reaching to better outcomes for individual with ASD. The patient in this case presentation had history of ASD and endorses aggression and self-injuries behaviors which have been indicated by various studies to associated with ASD and other manifestation including hyperactive, impulsive, inattentive behavior, unusual mood or emotional reaction.
To answer your question “
Is Risperidone FDA approved for patients with Autism”
Based on various studies, Risperidone and aripiprazole are approved by FDA and recommended for treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar for adult and adolescent including children with Autism Spectrum disorder around age 5 to 16 years. The Risperidone an antipsychotic medication was recommended to treat the aggression, irritability and mood swings associated with ASD. According to study; Risperidone has been effecting in treating symptoms of aggression and irritability between the age of 5 and 6 years distinctly that is associated with ASD, however, there’s no FDA approved medication for treatment of core sign and symptoms of ASD (Alayouf et al, 2021). There have been several controversy surrounding the use of Risperidone in which several clinician trials conducted reported that the medication was effective for the agitation, aggression and irritability often observed in autism patient, but was less effective in treating the core symptoms of Autism and other argument including the undesirable side effects that are associated with the medication and most significant of which is weight gain from an increased appetite. Other several medication as well as off-label prescription has been indicated to be effective such as treatment with SSRIs, CNS stimulants, NMDA-receptor antagonists, and including other agents (LeClerc & Easley, 2015).

Hormone Treatment of Children and
Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria:
An Ethical Analysis
by Brendan S. Abel
C
hildren are generally unable to provide au-
tonomous, independent informed consent for
medical treatments. This long-standing tenet of
pediatric care protects children who often do not pos-
sess fully developed cognitive decision-making capacity
by preventing rash, permanent, and potentially regret-
table medical decisions. As pediatric patients become
adolescents and approach adulthood, their involvement
in medical decision-making often increases to take into
account their values and preferences.1 But until a youth
reaches the age of majority, the medical decision-making
process generally includes permission from parents or
guardians and informed assent from the patient to the
degree appropriate.
In the context of transgender health, most people are
not comfortable with allowing a twelve-year-old child
with gender dysphoria to elect to undergo gender reas-
signment surgery. The likelihood is too high that the
child would be unable to fully comprehend the scope
of a decision that carries significant, permanent conse-
quences, particularly because the decision to surgically
change gender is based upon a conception of gender that
can fluctuate during adolescent years. Conversely, how-
ever, most people would not contend that this fluidity is
reason to wholly deny certain medical care such as hor-
monal treatments to transgender youth, a demographic
with extremely high rates of violent behavior, self-harm,
and suicide. This paper will explore ethical consider-
ations relevant to this emerging debate of what therapeu-
tic options should be offered to transgender children and
adolescents.
Pediatric endocrinologists have been treating gender
dysphoric adolescents with puberty-suppressing drugs
and, to a lesser extent, with cross-sex hormone therapies
for more than twenty years. Clinicians and thought lead-
ers have mentioned ethical components of this emerg-
ing practice in the few cohort studies and clinical review
articles about the subject. However, ethics have generally
been a secondary consideration in the medical academic
literature. In this paper, I will provide a brief overview of
the practice, summarize the current research on hormone
treatment for transgender minors, and provide an ethical
analysis of the practice.
Clinical Overview
Gender dysphoria, termed “gender identity disorder” in prior iterations of the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders, is marked by an incongru-
ence between one’s experienced or expressed gender and
the gender to which the person has been assigned (usu-
ally at birth, referred to as the natal gender).2 The new
DSM-5 defines an individual with gender dysphoria as
a person who fulfills six of eight enumerated charac ...

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
