Hidden Crises Facing Teen Girls with ADHD

A recent study reports an alarming number of incidents of suicide
attempts and self-injurious behavior among girls and young women with
ADHD. The Berkeley Girls ADHD Longitudinal Study by Dr. Steve Hinshaw
and his colleagues reveals the following rates:

* Suicide Attempts

* Self-Injurious Behavior

Control 8%

Control 19%

ADHD C Group 22%

ADHD C Group 51

Stephen Hinshaw,
PhD
Dr. Hinshaw will discuss this study at the 24th Annual CHADD
International Conference in San Francisco, on November 8-10. During the
research symposium, he will discuss the ideas behind the study, which
began in the 1990s; the findings from the childhood, adolescent, and
young adult phases of the study; and the strikingly high rate of
suicidal and self-injurious behavior in late adolescence and young
adulthood. register online

During his session on Girls & Women with ADHD, with Special Focus on
Long-Term Outcome, Dr. Hinshaw will address the following questions:

. Should there be different diagnostic criteria (or different thresholds
for diagnosis) for girls vs. boys with ADHD?
. How do long-term outcomes differ between the sexes?
. Why is there a 3:1 male-female ratio in childhood but closer to an
even sex distribution by adulthood?
. How should treatments be tailored to females?

Dr. Hinshaw will speak on Stigma, Mental Illness, and Families:
Implications for ADHD in his general session on Thursday evening.

Hidden Crises Facing Teen Girls with ADHD

A recent study reports an alarming number of incidents of suicide attempts and self-injurious behavior among girls and young women with ADHD. The Berkeley Girls ADHD Longitudinal Study by Dr. Steve Hinshaw and his colleagues reveals the following rates:

Suicide Attempts

Self-Injurious Behavior

Control 8%

Control 19%

ADHD C Group 22%

ADHD C Group 51

Stephen Hinshaw,

PhD

Dr. Hinshaw will discuss this study at the 24th Annual CHADD International Conference in San Francisco, on November 8-10. During the research symposium, he will discuss the ideas behind the study, which began in the 1990s; the findings from the childhood, adolescent, and young adult phases of the study; and the strikingly high rate of suicidal and self-injurious behavior in late adolescence and young adulthood. register online

During his session on Girls & Women with ADHD, with Special Focus on Long-Term Outcome, Dr. Hinshaw will address the following questions:

• Should there be different diagnostic criteria (or different thresholds for diagnosis) for girls vs. boys with ADHD?
• How do long-term outcomes differ between the sexes?
• Why is there a 3:1 male-female ratio in childhood but closer to an even sex distribution by adulthood?
• How should treatments be tailored to females?

Dr. Hinshaw will speak on Stigma, Mental Illness, and Families: Implications for ADHD in his general session on Thursday evening.
