The Association between Prosocial Behaviour and Peer Relationships with Comorbid Externalizing Disorders and Quality of Life in Treatment-Naïve Children and Adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

The samples included 79 children with ADHD (64 boys and 15 girls, mean age = 10.

Psychiatric diagnoses in "healthy" control group of a clinical study and its effects on health related quality of life.

Background: The measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among children with mental disorders is still in early ages, even though the worldwide-pooled prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses among children and adolescents is around 13%. Several studies confirmed that these children have impaired social and school functioning and low HRQoL. Mental disorders among children often remain undiagnosed or diagnosed too late, in that case additional negative effects could be expected.

Long-Term Effects of Multimodal Treatment on Psychopathology and Health-Related Quality of Life of Children With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Aim: The current study aimed to examine the association between long-term (36 months) multimodal (pharmacological and psychological) treatment and psychopathology and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from the perspectives of both the children and parents.

Direct Self-Injurious Behavior (D-SIB) and Life Events among Vocational School and High School Students.

Although several studies have recently assessed direct self-injurious behavior (D-SIB) among adolescents, it is still understudied in adolescents attending vocational schools: an educational setting generally associated with lower socioeconomic status. After extending the "Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe" (SEYLE) project to a vocational school population, we examined their D-SIB and life event characteristics compared to the high school population. SEYLE's Hungarian randomly selected high school sample ( = 995) was completed with a randomly selected vocational school sample ( = 140) in Budapest, Hungary.

Dyskinesia in Treatment-Naive and Stimulant-Treated Children With ADHD.

Stimulants are safe and effective medications for the treatment of ADHD. There are a number of case studies that report stimulant-induced dyskinesia. The aim of this study was to compare dyskinesia in a treated and a treatment-naive group of children with ADHD, and a healthy control group.
