Hi Heaven, thank you for an informative post this week on anxiety in early childhood and the complementary medicine technique of yoga. I liked how your page was organized, all of the sections were clearly labeled and  contained the required elements. Each of the elements were full of useful information.  Like the rest of the class, your page has continued to do a great job of creating a page that follows an easy to follow and logical format building from a sound foundation of the description of the condition and the treatment, then finishing with the pros and cons. I understand the difficulty in finding adequate research to support a topic and I see how that influenced the definition you chose to use in that it described anxiety in adolescents rather than middle childhood. I think that same issue may have also limited the number of citations you were able to source. I recommend making a change to the edition of the DSM that was mentioned, as the DSM5 is the most current versio...

Hi Kaela and Heaven, I think you did a really nice job providing concise information on ADHD and the overview of pharmaceutical advantages/disadvantages to its use in young girls.    As someone who has a strong prevalence of ADD/ADHD diagnosis in my family tree, myself include, I find this topic truly fascinating.   Particularly, as a female identified as having ADHD not until my late adolescent period, it makes me curious as to whether or not the statistics are missing a vital piece of information, maybe girls learn to adapt and self regulate better than their male counterparts earlier in life?    I’m curious if you found any longitudinal studies on the efficacy/impact on neuro-development or hormonal function when the developing brain is provided with amphetamines or methylphenidates such as Ritalin, Adderall, or Concerta?    This is particularly curious when considering how different the pharmacokinetics is in the female body.    ...
