Is the Conners' continuous performance test helpful for assessing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in a clinical setting?
CONCLUSIONS: Correlations between CCPT-II results and ADHD symptoms were all small to moderate. As such, CCPT-II results should be interpreted with caution, because they correspond to a limited degree with other sources of information.PMID:37971369 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2023.2279640 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Polypharmacy in antipsychotic pharmacological treatment among patients with dual diagnosis in Denmark
CONCLUSION: Approximately three-quarters of admitted patients were treated with antipsychotic medication. Antipsychotic polypharmacy was observed across all psychiatric disorder categories, indicating potential off-label use. Addressing antipsychotic polypharmacy during treatment is challenging, even for specialised facilities. Rational antipsychotic prescribing, deprescribing protocols, and further prescription pattern research are needed.PMID:37938028 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2023.2277820 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Cognitive training for children with ADHD: composite cognitive score outcome in a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Variations in dose and frequency of training may be an important source of the variance in previous studies.PMID:37905332 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2023.2270954 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Cross-sectional analysis of depressive symptom profiles and serum C-reactive protein levels: data from the Northern Finland 1966 birth cohort
CONCLUSIONS: These results provide additional support for previous research linking depression and inflammation and add to the field with a unique and sizeable study population. Furthermore, the current results support the notion that different types of depressive symptoms may be associated with inflammatory markers in slightly different ways.PMID:37905346 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2023.2274341 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)
