Gene Mutations Linked to Autism

Several common genetic mutations have just been found that are parts of the complex "jigsaw puzzle" of autism, three recent studies revealed. The mutations increase the risk for the psychoemotional developmental disorder that affects about one in 170 American children. ( Read more about Gene Mutations Linked to Autism)

Brain Scan Reveals Bullies' Pleasure Pattern

In two unexpected findings of a recent brain-scan study, bullies appear to gain pleasure from fighting, lying and destroying property - and they seem to lack the ability to control their violent and thrill-seeking emotions.

In the study, which appeared in the journal Biological Psychology, the researchers examined the brain activity of eight 16- to 18-year-old boys with histories of lying, stealing, committing vandalism, and bullying - a clinical condition known as aggressive conduct disorder. Their brain scans were compared with those of a second group of boys without the disorder. ( Read more about Brain Scan Reveals Bullies' Pleasure Pattern)

Young Mothers Suffer More Depression

Females who give birth before age 23 are considerably more likely to experience clinical depression during pregnancy than older mothers, a recent study shows.

In addition, the British researchers report, younger mothers' children more commonly suffer from emotional problems and have a below-average IQ.

These psychological deficits were found to be more likely in cases in which mothers were depressed or smoked during their pregnancies, and in which they failed to breast-feed following childbirth. ( Read more about Young Mothers Suffer More Depression)

Generic Drugs Getting Cheaper in U.S.

In a welcome boon for recession-racked consumers, the prices of generic pharmaceuticals have been falling in recent months - and are expected to continue their downward spiral for the foreseeable future.

The chief reason for this remarkable development, according to health information company IMS Health, is the pitched pricing competition that started in 2006 between huge retailers and drugstore chains, as well as the wars for market share between the many makers of generic drugs.

U.S. Teens Awash in Overconfidence

Compared with high school students of the seventies, U.S. teens today rate themselves as far more intelligent, self-satisfied and able to be exceptional spouses, parents and workers, according to a recent study. Today's kids are also much more likely to say they have a high IQ and are "A" students, even though other research reveals they do a lot less homework than their counterparts of the seventies. "What this shows is that confidence has crossed over into overconfidence," said Jean Twenge, an associate professor of psychology at San Diego State University. She, together with co-researcher W. Keith Campbell, of the University of Georgia, studied data from Monitoring the Future, a large national survey of thousands of American high school students done from time to time over the past 30 years.

Reducing Stress Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Problems

A Review in The Lancet reveals the importance of healthy lifestyle choices to reduce stressors related to cardiovascular risk factors. Researchers from John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore examined records between 1990 to 2006. They observed how stress affects the sympathetic nervous system, impacts physiology, and the effect it has on the cardiovascular system. Lead author, Daniel Brotman, claims "Acute physical stressors such as sugery, trauma, and intense physical exertion are well known triggers of cardiovascular events. Emotional stressors are increasingly recognized as precipitants of such events."

ADHD & Teen Drivers

Today is National ADHD Awareness Day, and a new study focuses--no pun intended--on teen drivers with the condition. The study finds how well they performs behind the wheel of a car may be directly influenced by optimizing dosing of medication, especially in the afternoon and evening. The authors of the study say for all teenagers, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death. For adolescents with ADHD, you multiply that by a factor of four, and it becomes a huge problem. So these kids need to be armed with the right medicine and other tools to be a safe driver.

Health Wrap:Snoring, Fetuses and Pain

A new study finds that habitual snoring in women is strongly tied to body mass index—a marker of fatness-- and age. Overall, 7.6 percent of women snore. The frequency of snoring reaches its peak in women ages 50 to 59. Frequent snoring was found to increase with alcohol dependence, smoking and physical inactivity. --

ADHD and Television

Can television actually cause your child to develop attention deficit disorder? There have been studies suggesting this is true, and now another new study weighs in. There are many reasons for experts to be concerned about the ill effects television can have on children. One concern is that too much watching can trigger attention problems. But a major study out of the American Academy of Pediatrics now says that’s probably not the case.

ADHD Report Card

Zach Neville was 4 years old when doctors diagnosed him with ADHD. “They were really the classic symptoms if you go on the internet and you look at what the diagnostic criteria are, the impulsivity, the hyperactive, the inattentiveness, they were social skills issues going on, there was a lot of acting out, not being about to sit still during circle time, very basic preschool activities,” says Zach’s mother, Jeanne Neville. Jeanne, Zach’s mom, says initially she felt overwhelmed and confused on how to best take care of her son. Their family first started with an intensive behavior management plan, but, as Zach entered school he needed medication and additional therapy.
