Where does ordinary inattention end and ADHD begin? Why do mental disorders often manifest themselves in adolescence? How dangerous are alcohol, cannabis, and vaping for the still-developing brain? And is there really a connection between cannabis use and the development of schizophrenia?
In this episode, psychiatrist, neurologist, and narcologist Yevgen Skripnik explains how parents can distinguish personality traits from ADHD, why this disorder is so often misunderstood, and what symptoms should not be ignored. We talk about modern approaches to treating ADHD, how lifestyle affects the course of this disorder, and what parents can do to help their child.
A separate block is devoted to the mental health of adolescents. Why is it at this age that mental disorders most often debut? How do alcohol and other psychoactive substances affect the adolescent brain? Why can addictions at a young age have long-term consequences, and what can parents do to spot the problem in time and prevent it?
We also discuss how to distinguish ADHD from bipolar disorder, how people with ADHD can organize their lives to make life much easier, and what, according to a doctor, needs to be changed to improve the mental health of Ukrainians in general.
This is a conversation without myths and horror stories - only evidence-based medicine, modern scientific data and practical advice for parents, adolescents and anyone who wants to better understand how our brain and psyche work.
