Our speakers will discuss symptoms of ADD/ADHD in children and adults and frequently used medication and behavioral therapies. Coping mechanisms for the parents and sibs of ADD children and partners of ADD adults will be reviewed.

Teen depression is a serious disorder that occurs during the teenage years marked by persistent sadness, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in activities. It can be caused by stress at school, unrealistic expectations from parents, family dysfunction, traumatic events, or bullying. Symptoms include changes in school performance, eating and sleeping habits, low self-esteem, social isolation, excessive guilt or anxiety, and in severe cases, suicidal thoughts. It is important for depressed teens to receive prompt treatment from a mental health professional, such as therapy or medication, to prevent worsening of symptoms and potential suicide. Depression can lead to distorted thinking that makes suicide seem like the only option, so treatment is crucial when suicidal thoughts are present.
Mental health refers to maintaining productive daily activities and relationships, while adapting to change and coping with stress. Mental illness occurs when the brain is not functioning properly, disrupting one of its six functions. Teenagers often feel stressed and under pressure from social, school, home, and life decisions, which is normal, but feeling very sad, hopeless or worthless could indicate a mental health problem requiring treatment. The causes of mental illness are complex and result from abnormal brain functioning rather than poor parenting, stress alone, or personal weakness. Many mental illnesses begin and persist into adolescence, such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and generalized anxiety disorder.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

Effects & Opps Among A-As
• Poverty, foster status (45%), homelessness (40%) &
incarceration (50%), violent exposure increase odds of MI
• A-As:
– less likely to get accurate diagnosis thus need for
more competence in dealing with SYSTEM
– underrepresented as treaters thus need for more A-
As to train as Psychs & SWs
– have cultural bias against MH system resulting in
lower access to care thus greater need for education
14. 14
Effect & Opps Among A-As
• A-As:
– prone to seeking support in community vs system thus
community needs mental health competence
– metabolize meds more slowly while getting higher
doses resulting in worst side effects & lower
compliance thus need to better understand
treatment regimens
