Lisdexamphetamine versus methylphenidate for paediatric patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and type 1 diabetes (LAMAinDiab): protocol for a multicentre, randomised cross-over clinical trial in an outpatient telemedicine-supported setting.

Introduction: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 5%-10% of paediatric population and is reportedly more common in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D), exacerbating its clinical course. Proper treatment of ADHD in such patients may thus provide neurological and metabolic benefits. To test this, we designed a non-commercial second phase clinical trial comparing the impact of different pharmacological interventions for ADHD in children with T1D.

Cultural contributions to adults' self-rated mental health problems and strengths: 7 culture clusters, 28 societies, 16 906 adults.

Background: It is unknown how much variation in adult mental health problems is associated with differences between societal/cultural groups, over and above differences between individuals.

Methods: To test these relative contributions, a consortium of indigenous researchers collected Adult Self-Report (ASR) ratings from 16 906 18- to 59-year-olds in 28 societies that represented seven culture clusters identified in the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavioral Effectiveness study (e.g.

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by vocal and motor tics lasting more than a year. It is highly polygenic in nature with both rare and common previously associated variants. Epidemiological studies have shown TS to be correlated with other phenotypes, but large-scale phenome wide analyses in biobank level data have not been performed to date.

Attachment in adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and oppositional defiant disorder.

Objectives: To assess attachment styles among adolescents (13-16 years) with ADHD or ADHD and oppositional defiant disorders (ODD).

Enhancing neuroimaging genetics through meta-analysis for Tourette syndrome (ENIGMA-TS): A worldwide platform for collaboration.

Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterized by multiple motor and vocal tics, and high-comorbidity rates with other neuropsychiatric disorders. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), major depressive disorder (MDD), and anxiety disorders (AXDs) are among the most prevalent TS comorbidities. To date, studies on TS brain structure and function have been limited in size with efforts mostly fragmented.

Practical guidelines for management of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 hospitalized in a child and adolescent psychiatric ward.

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic - in addition to its many widely described negative consequences - has created achallenge for the mental health care system in every country, including Poland to safely manage psychiatric disorders in addition to preventing and treating COVID-19. In Poland, online mental health services are provided for the outpatients.

The position statement of the Working Group of the Polish Psychiatric Association on the use of D2/D3 dopamine receptor partial agonists in special populations.

D2/D3 dopamine receptor partial agonists (aripiprazole, brexpiprazole, cariprazine) are increasingly often used in the treatment of mental disorders due to a more favourable tolerability profile as compared to other antipsychotics. The article presents the position statement on the use of these drugs in the treatment of special populations: people with comorbid somatic diseases, people over 65 years of age, including those with dementia, children and adolescents, pregnant and breastfeeding women. The position statement was developed by the panel of experts appointedby the Executive Board of the Polish Psychiatric Association consisting of people experienced in the treatment of patients with mental disorders.

They are increasingly more widely used in clinical practice, also off-label. The aim of this article is to present the current state of knowledge on the use of these drugs in the treatment of mental disorders.
