Of course, all children act this way sometimes, making it tricky to pin down whether or not a particular child’s behavior actually reflects ADHD. The core symptom of ADHD is difficulty concentrating, and most children with ADHD are also hyperactive and impulsive.
“We psychiatrists tend to say that it is both overdiagnosed, in the sense that people see a restless child and make the automatic assumption that he or she has ADHD-and underdiagnosed, in that many children who could be helped by medication and treatment aren’t getting the services they need.” “There has been a lot of controversy about ADHD over the years,” says Robert King, MD, a child psychiatrist and expert in ADHD at the Yale Medicine Child Study Center. ADHD is a chronic condition that interferes with concentration, impulse control and the ability to sit still.Īpproximately 11 percent of children in the United States between the ages of four and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Usually diagnosed in childhood, this lifelong condition can profoundly affect how well a child functions at home, at school and socially.

We hope to increase this targeted outreach in future years and continually increase the numbers,” commented Dettmer. As a result, over 20% of our applicant pool were from HBCUs/MSIs, and 16.7% of our 2023 interns are from such institutions.
“This year, the internship program conducted its first targeted outreach to HBCUs and MSIs in an effort to increase representation and inclusivity. Postgraduate Associate Kayla Delapenha (’22) is in her second year serving as the assistant director of the internship, and Linda Isakson provides administrative support.
The program is co-directed by Amanda Dettmer, PhD and Linda Mayes, MD, along with PhD student Kathy Ayala. Past areas of focus have included the neuroscience of parenting, adolescent risk-taking, family interventions, and addiction.
This year’s developmental science summer internship poster session will take place on Friday, Jfrom 2-4 p.m. They spend the summer working with their mentors on relevant research projects and present their projects as conference posters to YCSC faculty, staff, and students at the end of the summer. YCSC summer interns are paired with faculty mentors based on their research interests and career trajectories. The YCSC, which serves as the department of child psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, offers the summer internship to rising junior and senior undergraduate students in various areas of developmental science annually. On June 1, 2023, the Yale Child Study Center (YCSC) welcomed 24 undergraduate students from 11 universities and colleges around the country to the department’s developmental science summer internship program.
