The headline is extremely misleading. Although I am not familiar with the work of this person, the article says that he is making the rather obvious claim that ADHD is a syndrome, rather than an etiopathologically unique disease. That does not mean that it is not "real." It is still an accurate description of symptoms -- which are quite real.

Maybe it's just my job, but if I had the time to do any of this AT WORK, then I wouldn't actually be stressed.

A brain signal for psychosis risk
Only one third of individuals identified as being at clinical high risk for psychosis actually convert to a psychotic disorder within a three-year follow-up period. This risk assessment is based on the presence of sub-threshold psychotic-like symptoms. Thus, clinical symptom criteria alone do not predict future psychosis risk with sufficient accuracy to justify aggressive early intervention, especially with medications such as antipsychotics that produce significant side effects.

Suicidality test being brought to market
A new test should help doctors to decrease the risk of suicidality in patients treated with antidepressants who show certain gene markers. Researchers plan to launch the test immediately as a laboratory developed test. In addition, clinical studies in support of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration submission for market clearance, CE marking and reimbursement will be initiated.

Improving safety, effectiveness of lithium therapy: Closer than ever
Lithium, one of the oldest and most widely used drugs to treat neuropsychiatric illnesses, such as bipolar disorder, has a serious drawback -- toxicity. In a continued effort to find a safer form of lithium, researchers have discovered that lithium salicylate, an alternative salt form, might be the answer.

Zeno’s Paradox Is a Trick—But a Very Interesting Trick
The Greek philosopher Zeno wrote a book of paradoxes nearly 2,500 years ago. “Achilles and the Tortoise” is the easiest to understand, but it’s devilishly difficult to explain away. For those who haven’t already learned it, here are the basics of Zeno’s logic puzzle, as we understand it after generations...

Math models analyze long-term criminal activity patterns in a population
In a paper published last November in Multiscale Modeling and Simulation: A SIAM Interdisciplinary Journal, authors Henri Berestycki, Nancy Rodríguez, and Lenya Ryzhik show that the assumption of a population's natural tendency towards crime significantly changes long-term criminal activity patterns. ...

Is he actually saying that the world should just sit back and allow nations to annex portions of other sovereign nations? Trying to compare the situation in Crimea to Scotland is just disingenuous; if the people in Crimea had arranged this referendum prior to the invasion, the conversation would be quite different. Also, not to go Godwin on this, but it seems that a similar maneuver was attempted in the 1940s -- the Anschluss.

Equation to describe competition between genes
Biologists typically conduct experiments first, and then develop models afterward to show how data fit with theory. New research flips that practice on its head. A biophysicist tackles questions in cellular biology as a physicist would -- by first formulating a model that can make predictions and then testing those predictions. This research group has recently developed a mathematical model that accounts for the way genes compete with each other for the proteins that regulate their expression.

Are you smarter than a 5-year-old? Preschoolers can do algebra
Millions of high school and college algebra students are united in a shared agony over solving for x and y, and for those to whom the answers don't come easily, it gets worse: Most preschoolers and kindergarteners can do some algebra before even entering a math class. A new study finds that most preschoolers and kindergarteners, or children between 4 and 6, can do basic algebra naturally.

The nature of color: New formula to calculate hue improves accuracy of color analysis
Color is crucial in ecological studies, playing an important role in studies of flower and fruit development, responses to heat/drought stress, and plant–pollinator communication. But, measuring color variation is difficult, and available formulas sometimes give misleading results. An improved formula to calculate hue (one of three variables characterizing color) has now been developed.
