☆ Stimulants are more effective than placebos for ADHD, study finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-17 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

Stimulant medications, and atomoxetine (a type of antidepressant), were more effective than placebos at reducing core ADHD symptoms during a 12-week period, found the study published Tuesday in the journal Lancet Psychiatry. Prior to conducting this study, Cortese and several other study authors had various types of affiliations — such as for consulting or research — with pharmaceutical companies, some of which manufacture ADHD medications. They also mention non-pharmacological treatment if medication is not effective or not well tolerated, but they don’t specify which kind of non-pharmacological treatment. “Self-perception of ADHD symptoms is fallible in all people. However, there are no ‘objective’ tests that can accurately measure ADHD symptoms.

“Such mirror organisms would constitute a radical departure from known life, and their creation warrants careful consideration.”A fundamental feature of all known life is a uniform chirality, or handedness. No imminent threat exists, the report stressed, and there are currently sizable technical hurdles to creating mirror bacteria. If these shapes were reflected — as they would be in mirror bacteria — recognition would be impaired and immune defenses could fail, potentially leaving organisms vulnerable to infection. Jones, an expert in plant immune systems, said that mirror bacteria would be extremely difficult to detect in plants. When they have to do all that but only with mirror molecules, that all need to be made and invented, then it makes it … 1000x harder,” he said via email.

Whether you choose to drink or not is an individual decision. “Alcohol does a lot of things: the reaction time impact, the motor coordination impact, the impact on judgment — these are all legitimate pharmacological effects of alcohol,” he said. Members of one group were told they were getting drinks with alcohol, and they did; participants in a second group were told they were getting alcohol-free drinks, and they did. For those who thought they were getting alcohol but didn’t, the group dynamic appeared quite active, according to Kilmer. If you do make the choice to drink, he suggested lessening alcohol’s impact by alternating each alcoholic drink with a glass of water.
