The Ledger 5.30.15

After a year of preparing, students have finally completed all of their state mandated testing Much to our dismay, however, many of the tests that consumed so much of our educational time are now being thrown out! In this week’s column we talk about why the test scores are being discarded and reiterate our concern about high stakes testing.

What are your thoughts about test scores not counting this year?

The Ledger article – Sugar and ADHD

ADHD and sugar have a very tumultuous history. While there are those who say that ADHD and sugar have no relationship, others bind them together quite tightly. In this week’s column I had to admit that I was at least partially wrong about my impression of this relationship and present to you some concerns about what sugar is actually doing to our bodies!

If you have had experiences with sugar and its relationship with ADHD symptoms, please write to me. I’d love to hear your stories!

Episode 11: Mental Health: ADHD – Part One

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is one of the most common diagnoses made in childhood. Although estimates say that approximately one in nine school aged children suffer from the condition, it is very often misunderstood. In this episode of The Mental Breakdown, Drs. Berney and Richard talk about the history of the disorder, associated symptoms, and they begin to tackle the issue of the ever increasing rate of prevalence. We would love to hear your thoughts and experiences with ADHD, so please write in to us on either Facebook or on our blog at thementalbreakdown.com. Also, we welcome your comments, suggestions, and questions for future podcasts.
