‘Mindfulness training effective for Families with a child with ADHD.’
In this study, two groups of children between the ages of eight and sixteen receiving only regular care and the other group also receiving the mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) with at least one parent were compared for a period of eight weeks. Professor of Environmental Sensitivity in Health and psychologist Corina Greven of Radboudumc, the Donders Institute and Karakter says that usual interventions for children with ADHD typically do not target mental health of parents, although they often struggle with parenting stress, anxiety or own ADHD symptoms.
The results of the study show this type of intervention improves mental health among the parents and family relationships on acceptance of ADHD but little effect on ADHD symptoms of children.
Genetic Risk Factors for ADHD Identified
Globally, around 2.5 percent adults and 5 percent of children have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A study published in Nature Genetics has uncovered the genetic variants underlying ADHD. About 12 independent loci on the genome where mutations can lead to ADHD have been identified.
