“…To sum up, it is a truism that no single approach can best meet the needs of all children and adults with ADHD and that individualization of approach to maximize progress will be necessary to attain the best outcome for an individual [12]. Thus, clinicians without special ADHD training need to seek out the approaches that have empirical support and learn them, rather than relying on general disciplinary therapeutic practices.…”

The high prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) demonstrated in the last decades in the child and adult population carried us to examine how best we can identify cases of ADHD from the general population. In doing so, we note that different methodologies are used for obtaining data, as well as different diagnostic criteria. An additional finding of considerable interest for this line of reasoning is the medicalization of ADHD. Our assumption is that this tendency for prescribing certain medications is caused by the relentless pressure of pharmaceutical companies and not only as a result of clinical judgment.

“…Consistent with current guidelines, clinicians should assess and evaluate BMI at least annually and implement the indicated intervention to prevent obesity. 34 It should be noted that behavioral therapy, specifically parent training, can be effective 35 for ADHD management and has no known BMI rebound effect. Future research should examine how obesity prevention interventions may be best tailored and delivered to Table 3).…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Childhood attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder has been associated with both childhood and adult obesity, whereas treatment with stimulants has been associated with delayed child growth. No longitudinal studies with details about dates of diagnosis, treatment, and duration of stimulant use have been published. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:Using electronic health record data, this was the first study to evaluate the independent associations of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis, stimulant treatment, age at first stimulant use, and duration of stimulant use on longitudinal BMI trajectories throughout childhood and adolescence.abstract BACKGROUND: Childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been associated with childhood and adult obesity, and stimulant use with delayed childhood growth, but the independent influences are unclear. No longitudinal studies have examined associations of ADHD diagnosis and stimulant use on BMI trajectories throughout childhood and adolescence. METHODS:We used longitudinal electronic health record data from the Geisinger Health System on 163 820 children ages 3 to 18 years in Pennsylvania. Random effects linear regression models were used to model BMI trajectories with increasing age in relation to ADHD diagnosis, age at first stimulant use, and stimulant use duration, while controlling for confounding variables.RESULTS: Mean (SD) age at first BMI was 8.9 (5.0) years, and children provided a mean (SD) of 3.2 (2.4) annual BMI measurements. On average, BMI trajectories showed a curvilinear relation with age. There were consistent associations of unmedicated ADHD with higher BMIs during childhood compared with those without ADHD or stimulants. Younger age at first stimulant use and longer duration of stimulant use were each associated with slower BMI growth earlier in childhood but a more rapid rebound to higher BMIs in late adolescence. CONCLUSIONS:The study provides the first longitudinal evidence that ADHD during childhood not treated with stimulants was associated with higher childhood BMIs. In contrast, ADHD treated with stimulants was associated with slower early BMI growth but a rebound later in adolescence to levels above children without a history of ADHD or stimulant use. The findings have important clinical and neurobiological implications. Pediatrics 2014;133:668-676

“…This is at least partially due to the low methodological quality of the majority of these studies. Therefore, the conclusions of recent meta-analyses and reviews of treatment efficacy for given disorders were often preliminary or inconclusive, because the number of included RCTs was generally small, often with low statistical power and a high or even unknown risk for biased sample selection and randomization procedures [10,13,14]. In addition, most of these studies suffered from selective outcome reporting, and about one-third of the published studies included a follow-up assessment with a mean time-lag of 5 months after therapy only [8,14].…”

“…Therefore, one measure or informant is not able to capture all of these aspects of treatment efficacy. Another limitation of current outcome assessment in child and adolescent psychotherapy research is the reliance on few and often non-blinded informants with low inter-informant agreement across settings, for example, teachers and parents [14,16,17]. This may lead to biased or inconsistent information about treatment effects.…”
