Moms See Themselves in Their Kids as ADHD Diagnoses Rise

A growing number of mothers are being diagnosed with ADHD after recognizing similar patterns in themselves while their children undergo evaluation. Experts say the rise reflects better awareness of how ADHD presents in women and adults, not just in boys and children. Parenthood often unmasks underlying ADHD due to the heavy mental load and stress, with genetics meaning if a parent has ADHD, offspring may as well. Diagnosis can be life-changing, followed by treatments like medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments that help moms feel more like themselves and better support their families.

Energy Drain: How Open Loops Zap Your Day

Open loops—unfinished tasks and the mental hum of constant to-dos—can sap energy more than you’d expect. Psychologists say procrastination often arises from negative emotions tied to tasks and a focus on short-term discomfort, which can lead to broader consequences like stress and health issues. Experts recommend understanding your procrastination style, starting small (a five‑minute task or getting dressed for a gym session), practicing self‑compassion, and gradually building habits (even with ADHD or other conditions) to regain energy and momentum. Therapy or evidence‑based tools can help those with underlying issues, turning avoidance into sustainable action.

Mass. Mom Lindsay Clancy Trial Nears Verdict Focused on Postpartum Psychosis

The Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachusetts is headed toward a jury next week to decide whether she is guilty of murder or should be deemed not criminally responsible due to postpartum psychosis. Defense witnesses portray her as psychotic, citing voices and delusions, while prosecutors argue she acted deliberately. The case has spurred a broader discussion on maternal healthcare and a concurrent civil suit against mental-health providers is pending. If found not guilty by reason of insanity, she would be committed to a state psychiatric hospital; if convicted, she faces life without parole. Closing arguments are expected, with ongoing public attention surrounding the trial.

The Hidden Cost of Early Fame: Addiction Risks for Child Actors

Hayden Panettiere’s death has renewed focus on mental health and addiction among child actors, who face unique risks from early fame, intense public scrutiny, and access to adult substances, compounded by family dynamics and the breakdown of privacy; experts say addiction is a chronic illness with relapse risk, and Panettiere herself spoke openly about how fame and pressure contributed to her struggles.

Common Brain Network Disruptions Link Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

A study in Frontiers in Psychiatry compared resting-state fMRI from 89 people with schizophrenia, 57 with bipolar I disorder, and 45 healthy controls, finding reduced coordination among distant brain regions in both patient groups—more widespread changes in schizophrenia. This suggests overlapping patterns of brain-network disruption between the two conditions, though not a single wiring fault; results cannot diagnose individuals yet and highlight the need for larger, longitudinal research.

USS Lincoln Returns to San Diego After Nine-Month Middle East Deployment

The mission was extended beyond its May endpoint, and families have described deteriorating conditions—food and mail shortages and concerns about mental health—though CENTCOM officials have downplayed a broader crisis and noted improvements. Lincoln has not visited a port since December, and a sister carrier, USS George Washington, has arrived in the region to begin its own deployment.
