Article Abstract

Aims: In this article we consider current literature around Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in the transgender, gender diverse and non-binary (TGDNB) population.

Methods: Literature review.

Results: N/A conclusions: We outline specific considerations pertaining to the assessment and treatment of ADHD in this group and highlight evidential gaps and avenues for future research. We conclude that TGDNB individuals should be considered a "special population" with regards to ADHD and encourage mental health practitioners to consider specific TGDNB mental health needs beyond capacity assessments and gender-affirming care.

Following a multimethodological approach, we aimed to assess and compare the reactivity to and regulation of emotions between patients with BPD and PTSD, as well as healthy controls, and identify associations with childhood trauma.

Background: Patients with mental health conditions represent a significant concern in emergency departments, consistently ranking as the third or fourth most prevalent diagnoses during consultations. Globally, over the past two decades, there was a marked increase in such incidences, largely driven by a rise in nonurgent visits related to somatic complaints. However, the implications of these nonurgent visits for mental health patients remain unclear, and warrant further investigation.
