Scientists have confirmed a neurobiochemical link between dopamine and cognitive flexibility. PET imaging shows that the brain increases dopamine production when completing cognitively demanding tasks, and that the more dopamine released, the more efficiently the tasks are completed. Armed with this information, physicians may soon be able to develop more precise treatment strategies for neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Living with ADHD means constantly unboxing and adapting to its little “gifts.” Our symptoms work like Russian nesting dolls, the outer shells consisting of one of the “big three” – inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity – and the shells within consisting of sub-behaviors that cause issues in different parts of our lives. It can feel impossible to break from these behaviors because of how subtle they can be and how automatic they become, but you CAN adapt.

Its not clear, though, from the editorial how the debate about antidepressants can be taken forward. Of course many people say they have been helped by antidepressants. But the question is whether the outcome is any better than placebo.
