Background:: At present, there is little data on the factor structure of ADHD symptoms in adolescents, especially as they are organized in the International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) or the recently proposed ADHD S-1 bifactor model. This study aimed to analyze how mother and adolescent self-ratings of ADHD symptoms align with these models. Methods:: This study utilized confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on a group of 300 adolescents (ages ranging from 11 to 17 years) to examine the factor structure in terms of mother ratings and adolescent self-ratings of ADHD symptoms (inattention [IA], hyperactivity [HY], and impulsivity [IM]) presented in the Disruptive Behavior Rating Scale (DBRS). Based on existing theory, the study examined five structural ADHD models: (1) DSM-5/ICD-10 one-factor model (with all symptoms loading on a single factor); (2) DSM-5 two-factor model (with IA and HY/IM factors); (3) ICD- 10 three-factor model (with IA, HY, and IM factors); (4) DSM-5 bifactor S – 1 model (with HY/IM as the reference indicators for the general factor); and (5) ICD-10 bifactor S – 1 model (with IM as the reference indicators for the general factor). Additionally, mothers and adolescents completed the five-item hyperactivity scale in the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Results:: The results showed the most support for the ICD-10 three-factor model, with all three factors in this model showing adequate discriminant validity, good omega coefficient reliability values, and significant and positive association with SDQ hyperactivity. Furthermore, it is speculated that the ADHD structure in adolescents might involve a general ADHD factor alongside an IA-specific factor, omitting an HY component. Since the general factor was marked by the IM symptoms, this suggests that ADHD at a latent level could be typified by IA and IM symptoms, excluding HY symptoms. Conclusion:: The theoretical implications of the findings are discussed.

Background: Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) on social media has emerged as a significant concern, particularly among college students, with implications for mental well-being and internet use. While previous studies have explored various aspects of mindfulness about digital behaviors, the specific link between mindfulness and FoMO, as well as the potential mechanisms involved, remains underexplored. Objective: Guided by the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory and the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model, this study investigates the relationship between mindfulness and FoMO among Chinese college students. Additionally, it explores the mediating roles of cognitive bias and the need to belong in understanding how mindfulness influences FoMO. Methods: Data was collected from 748 university students from two universities in China. Participants completed questionnaires assessing mindfulness, cognitive bias, the need to belong, and FoMO. Statistical analyses, including mediation models and bootstrapping, were conducted using SPSS 25.0 and the PROCESS macro version 3.3. Results: The SPSS PROCESS macro Model 4 analysis revealed that the relationships between mindfulness and FoMO (β=-.011, P=.738) and between Attention to Positive Information (API) and FoMO (β=.029, P=.383) were nonsignificant. Mindfulness exhibited negative associations with Attention to Negative Information (ANI) (β=- .250, P<.001) and the need to belong (β=-.254, P<.001) and positive associations with API (β=.268, P<.001). Furthermore, ANI positively correlated with FoMO (β=.182, P<.001), and the need to belong had a significant positive impact on FoMO (β=.503, P<.001). The mediation analysis indicated that the effect of mindfulness on FoMO was fully mediated by ANI and the need to belong, with no direct effect through API. Conclusion: By recognizing mindfulness as a valuable psychological resource, this research offers insights for developing targeted interventions aimed at reducing FoMO and promoting healthier social media engagement among this population. These findings contribute to the broader understanding of the interplay between mindfulness, cognitive processes, motivation, and FoMO, offering guidance for future research and practical interventions.
背景:社交媒体上的“错失恐惧症”(Fear of Missing Out,简称FoMO)已经成为一个重要的问题,尤其是在大学生中,它对心理健康和互联网使用都有影响。虽然之前的研究已经探索了正念与数字行为的各个方面,但正念与FoMO之间的具体联系以及所涉及的潜在机制仍未得到充分探索。目的:以资源保护理论(Conservation of Resources, COR)和人-情感-认知-执行互动模型(Interaction of person - affect - cognitive - execution, I-PACE)为指导,探讨正念与FoMO之间的关系。此外,它还探讨了认知偏见和归属需求在理解正念如何影响FoMO中的中介作用。方法:对全国两所大学的748名大学生进行调查。参与者完成了评估正念、认知偏见、归属感需求和FoMO的调查问卷。使用SPSS 25.0和PROCESS宏3.3版进行统计分析,包括中介模型和bootapping。结果:SPSS PROCESS宏观模型4分析显示,正念与FoMO之间存在显著的关系(β=-)。011, P=.738),积极信息注意(API)与FoMO之间的关系(β=。029, P=.383)无统计学意义。正念与负面信息注意(ANI) (β=- 0.250, P<.001)和归属需求(β=-)呈负相关。254, P<.001),与API呈正相关(β=。268年,术中;措施)。ANI与FoMO呈正相关(β=。182, P<.001),归属需求对FoMO有显著的正向影响(β=。503年,术中;措施)。中介分析表明,正念对FoMO的影响完全由ANI和归属需求介导,API对FoMO没有直接影响。结论:通过认识到正念是一种有价值的心理资源,本研究为开发有针对性的干预措施提供了见解,旨在减少FoMO,促进这一人群更健康的社交媒体参与。这些发现有助于更广泛地理解正念、认知过程、动机和FoMO之间的相互作用,为未来的研究和实际干预提供指导。

Abstract: The onset of common mental illnesses, such as mood and anxiety disorders, often begins in adolescence and young adulthood. While traditional clinical care focuses on reducing psychiatric symptoms, it is important to simultaneously promote positive psychological states (i.e., flourishing). In this brief review, we synthesize the published literature on flourishing among adolescents and young adults with mood and anxiety disorders. Using VanderWeele’s flourishing model domains, we developed search terms that we applied to PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar databases. We identified four articles that met the inclusion criteria for this review. Each study identified in this review used distinct flourishing scales to examine various flourishing domains. Overall, incorporating techniques to promote positive mental health in clinical care decreased psychiatric symptoms and increased flourishing. More research is needed to examine how incorporating flourishing into clinical care can reduce suffering and promote positive mental health in patients.

Abstract: Youth cannabis use is a major public health crisis. Cannabis laws carry significant health implications for American youth. Relaxing of these laws – through decriminalization, medical and recreational legalization – by a majority of states in the United States (US) over the past 25 years has dramatically shifted societal perceptions and adult use. How cannabis policy changes have affected the population-wide health of US youth and downstream public health implications of cannabis laws remain topics of significant debate. Cannabis is the most commonly used federally-illicit drug by US adolescents and the main drug for which US teens obtain substance use treatment. Adolescent cannabis use is associated with negative long-term consequences for mental health, risk-taking behaviors, and academic/job achievement. As of January 2023, 37 states and the District of Columbia (DC) have enacted medical cannabis laws; of these, 21 states and DC have recreational cannabis laws. Multiple studies have assessed the association between cannabis laws and youth cannabis use; results indicate mostly null effects for medical laws and mixed effects for recreational laws. Little is known about the effects of cannabis laws on mental health and mortality outcomes for American youth. Methodological limitations have made the interpretation of this literature difficult. This article presents a narrative review of current scientific literature investigating the impact of changing cannabis policies on cannabis and other drug use, mental health, and mortality outcomes in US youth. Implications are framed within a larger discussion on national trends in youth drug use, effects of adolescent cannabis exposure on health outcomes, and research-based policymaking.

Background: Interest in the potential mental health effects of cannabidiol (CBD) has increased recently, with a surge in commercial and pharmaceutical development of CBD products and a concomitant rise in consumer use. However, despite the widespread and growing use of CBD products by adults and adolescents, the mental health effects of CBD remain largely unknown. Objective: The goals of this review are: 1) to briefly review the evidence base for the mental health effects of CBD, using depression as an exemplar, and 2) to systematically outline complementary study designs needed to test CBD effects, together with challenges and special considerations related to each design. Methods: This review integrates empirical findings related to CBD's effects on mental health outcomes with the literature on intervention trial design and current legal regulations pertaining to CBD. Conclusion: Complementary controlled and observational studies of CBD are necessary to substantiate claims of mental health benefits, including for clinical depression and in pediatric populations. Investigators must consider challenges and opportunities specific to CBD as an intervention, including legal regulations, commercial or pharmaceutical product choice, dosing and bioavailability, and safety.

Background: Adolescents and young adults may use cannabidiol (CBD) products in an attempt to reduce depression and anxiety symptoms, despite little research examining this use. This systematic review evaluated preclinical and clinical research on the effects of CBD on depressive and anxiety disorders in adolescence and young adulthood. To provide context, we discuss CBD’s mechanism of action and neurodevelopmental effects. Methods: PubMed was searched for articles published through June 2022. Preclinical or clinical CBD administration studies with N > 1 that examined depressive and/or anxiety disorders were eligible. Results: Initially, 224 publications were identified. After excluding duplicates and applying eligibility criteria, 6 preclinical (depression: n≈133; anxiety: n≈161) and 4 clinical (anxiety: n=113) articles remained. Due to the low number of studies, results were synthesized qualitatively. The Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine 2011 Levels of Evidence were used to rate each study’s evidence. The preclinical effects of CBD on depression-like behavior appear to differ by sex, early life stress, and duration of use. Despite no evidence that CBD exerts anxiolytic effects in preclinical adolescent models, CBD may reduce anxiety symptoms in human adolescents and young adults with anxiety disorders. Conclusion: The existing evidence suggests that CBD may reduce symptoms of anxiety in adolescents and young adults. However, the evidence is sparse and limited by variations in samples and CBD dosing duration. Further research is needed to understand the potential benefits and/or harms of CBD for depression and anxiety disorders in this population. Implications for clinical practice and research are discussed.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a plant-derived cannabinoid compound found in cannabis, has been readily available in the United States since the legalization of hemp products in 2018. With all 50 states legalizing some form of CBD, many products have appeared in the marketplace. The American public generally considers CBD a safe and effective way to manage pain, mental health conditions, and other health issues in children and adults, even though CBD has only been approved for the treatment of specific types of pediatric seizures. This report describes early findings from preclinical CBD studies, select clinical trials, and naturalistic observational studies of CBD users and identifies knowledge gaps in this emerging field, especially those relating to the developmental effects of CBD. The main goal of this report is to identify priorities for future CBD research, particularly those that will benefit the field of child and adolescent psychiatry.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a plant-derived cannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp plants with broad psychopharmacologic effects and poorly understood mechanisms of action that may include anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and CNS modulation of endocannabinoid, glutamatergic, and serotonergic neurotransmission. This article reviews existing data on the safety and efficacy of CBD for mental and physical health indications in the pediatric population and for psychiatric disorders in adults, with a focus on clinical trials. Searches of PubMed and PsycINFO for articles through October 2021 focused on clinical trials on “cannabidiol” and “seizure” or “psychiatry” in youth and adults, identifying 686 articles that were then screened and evaluated for relevance. Research into the safety and efficacy of CBD led to the United States Food and Drug Administration's approval of Epidolex, a purified pharmaceutical-grade CBD medicine, for treating drug-resistant seizures in Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and tuberous sclerosis complex. Beyond treatment for rare seizure disorders, CBD has received growing public interest in recent years as a “natural” treatment for various other medical and psychiatric conditions, resulting in a rapidly expanding multi-billion-dollar US market for CBD dietary/health supplements and a growing number of Americans reporting regular use. However, the growing demand and broad claims of purported benefits have greatly outpaced the body of literature substantiating its use. Further, limited safety data in pediatric populations, drug-to-drug interactions between CBD and prescribed medications, and issues related to mislabeling and contamination have blunted enthusiasm for CBD in the pediatric healthcare community and indicate a need for additional research.
大麻二酚(CBD)是一种在大麻和大麻植物中发现的植物衍生的大麻素,具有广泛的精神药理学作用,其作用机制可能包括抗氧化和抗炎特性,以及内源性大麻素、谷氨酸能和血清素能神经传递的中枢神经系统调节。这篇文章回顾了现有的关于CBD在儿童人群的精神和身体健康适应症以及成人精神疾病方面的安全性和有效性的数据,重点是临床试验。到2021年10月,PubMed和PsycINFO对文章的搜索主要集中在青少年和成人的“大麻二酚”和“癫痫”或“精神病学”的临床试验上,确定了686篇文章,然后进行了筛选和相关性评估。对CBD安全性和有效性的研究促使美国食品和药物管理局(Food and Drug Administration)批准了Epidolex,一种纯化的药用级CBD药物,用于治疗Dravet综合征、lenox - gastaut综合征和结节性硬化症的耐药癫痫发作。除了治疗罕见的癫痫发作之外,近年来,CBD作为各种其他医学和精神疾病的“天然”治疗方法引起了越来越多的公众兴趣,导致CBD膳食/保健品在美国的市场迅速扩大,规模达数十亿美元,越来越多的美国人报告经常使用CBD。然而,不断增长的需求和广泛声称的好处大大超过了文献证实其使用的速度。此外,儿科人群中有限的安全性数据,CBD与处方药之间的药物间相互作用,以及与标签错误和污染相关的问题削弱了儿科医疗社区对CBD的热情,表明需要进一步的研究。

Background Objectives: Systemic racism and health inequality for Children and Adolescents of Color (CAoC) and their families need to be acknowledged and addressed in the provision of mental health treatment by child and adolescent psychiatrists. The lack of parity for behavioral health drives the lack of integration of “mental” health with overall health and the lack of funding, policy, planning, and practices to support the social and emotional health of children and their families. Additionally, the unequal treatment faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) children and their families further impacts their overall health and mental health outcomes. Implicit biases, conscious and unconscious, influence clinical judgments, lead to errors in diagnostic and treatment decisions and impair child and adolescent psychiatrists’ ability to fully partner with families to treat, advocate for, and improve the clinical and life trajectories of this diverse group of young people and families that child and adolescent psychiatrists are called to serve. Methods: Using a case vignette, this paper discusses historical examples showing how child and adolescent psychiatrists’ implicit bias may manifest when working with CAoC. Medical training and clinical practice have paid scant attention to the broader impacts of systemic racism and inequities in healthcare until recent years. Discussion: This article provides clinical recommendations for clinicians to navigate these factors through trauma-centered and patient-centered care. Viewing through the lens of intergenerational racial trauma and acknowledging one’s own bias, clinicians can better help and support CAoC as they strive toward a brighter future.

Patients aged 12 – 18 years presenting to Community Eating Disorders Services (CEDS) commonly describe problematic use of the internet (PUI). Time spent on the internet, internet experiences of social comparison, looking at food and sites offering weight and shape and fitness advice are all described during the onset of eating disorders and continue through treatment. We found that there is a lack of a clinical tool to assess PUI and its role in the development of eating disorders, and thus developed the Eating Disorder Online Activity Questionnaire (EDOAQ). This qualitative study involved 10 adolescents accessing community treatment for eating disorders, who were invited to engage in a brief semi-structured interview, inquiring about their completion of the EDOAQ and experiences of the internet. Five clinicians, working with the patients were also invited to participate in a similar process. Interview data was thematically analysed. All participants described high use of the internet. Patient and clinician experience was generally positive regarding the clinical use of the EDOAQ, and modifications for the questionnaire were suggested. Participants also reported the necessity of online activity and the easy access to harmful content. Participants found the EDOAQ improved self-awareness, of this and led to healthier online use. Patients presenting with eating disorder need to be screened for PUI. Assessing clinicians found a questionnaire inquiring about the use of the internet extremely useful in assessment and treatment for eating disorder. Most patients found completing a questionnaire less intrusive and easier than talking.
