Filter by:IPSA (Improving Parenting Skills adult ADHD) is a new parent training (PT) program developed and adapted for parents who themselves have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This study evaluates the efficacy of the IPSA program, that is, whether participation in IPSA is associated with desired treatment outcomes (e.g., improved parental self-efficacy). In addition, it examines the program's feasibility (e.g., what parents think about the program, the extent to which parents complete the program, and program safety). The study is a so called randomized controlled trial (RCT), where participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: Treatment (IPSA) or Control (continued routine services; offered IPSA approximately six months later). Participants are adults with ADHD (any form) that have at least one child in the ages between 3 and 11 years. Data are primarily collected using questionnaires, completed by parents before and after IPSA, as well as in connection with an IPSA booster session (follow-up).
Attention deficit disorder in adults with or without hyperactivity (ADHD) is a common disorder, affecting around 3% of the population. ADHD increases the risk of psychiatric disorders (mood disorders, sleep disorders, personality disorders, addictive behavior), risky behaviors, and vocational difficulties. Emotional dysregulation (ED) constitute a major hindrance in the daily life of subjects, with a great impact on the general functioning and the quality of life of the patients. The investigators want to determine the characteristics of patients with each type of ED (impulsivity, exacerbated emotional intensity, cyclothymia, borderline personality traits), and study the stability of these traits over time. Since circadian rhythms influence mood and circadian rhythms frequently occur in patients with ADHD, the investigators want to determine if there is a link between ED and instability in circadian rhythms. Finally, they would like to observe whether the ED evolves and according to whether or not treatment is taken
Adults who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from significant occupational, academic and social problems, many of which are believed to be a result of problems with executive functioning. Executive functioning refers to a group of neuro-psychological functions which include sustained attention, working memory, verbal fluency, as well as motor and mental processing speed. Individuals with ADHD have been shown to have deficits in executive functioning independent of IQ, co-occurring psychiatric disorders, gender, and ADHD subtype. "Recollect" is an application (App) based working memory training video game where participants conduct 3-different adaptive working memory tasks. In each of these tasks participants are presented with a set of stimuli to be remembered while playing a simple platform game where they help navigate an astronaut across the screen and dodge obstacles. Recollect has been designed for all age groups to an interesting, fun and effective brain-training activity. The memory tasks included in the game have been independently shown to improve working memory in a manner that transfers to untrained tasks. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of playing Recollect versus Tetris for 20 minutes per day, 5 days per week over a 4 week period, on executive functioning deficits in individuals who have Adult ADHD.
