Practitioner Review: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder – the importance of depression
Open Access paper from the JCPP – “Young people with neurodevelopmental disorders, such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder, show high rates of mental health problems, of which depression is one of the most common. Given that depression in ASD and ADHD is linked with a range of poor outcomes, knowledge of how clinicians should assess, identify and treat depression in the context of these neurodevelopmental disorders is much needed”. Anita Thapar (pic) et al.

However, studies have yet to evaluate this association prospectively in adolescence, nor have studies examined daytime sleepiness as a putative mechanism linking evening preference to poor academic functioning”. Joseph W. Fredrick (pic) et al.
