Understanding Rett Syndrome offers a concise, evidence-based introduction to Rett Syndrome (RTT), covering a range of topics from diagnosis and causes to treatment and family management. It focuses on improving the quality of life for those with the syndrome by suggesting practical ways of managing the condition at home and at school, offering support and guidance to all parents and caregivers learning how to help children with RTT. Over the course of six chapters, Fabio, Caprì and, Martino explore signs and symptoms of RTT, along with an overview of treatment, therapy, and interventions for those living with the condition, focusing on technological aids such as eye-tracking and ICT and new neural techniques. Illustrated with interviews with parents of children living with RTT, Understanding Rett Syndrome is essential reading for parents and caregivers, as well as practitioners in clinical and educational psychology, counseling, mental health, nursing, child welfare, public healthcare, and those in education.

The recent unprecedented societal challenges along with the COVID-19 pandemic have opened the door to a new era for mental health at work.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and anxiety disorders are two of the most common psychiatric conditions, often co-existing in the same individuals. The relationship between these disorders is complex and multifactorial in nature. The biopsychosocial model postulates that biological, psychological, and social factors all play a significant role in human functioning in the context of disease or illness, which includes these disorders. Evidence suggests that ADHD can predispose individuals to anxiety, and vice versa. However, the causality sequences, as explored in the literature remains limited. It is possible that ADHD symptomology causes anxiety, or the genetics behind ADHD causes anxiety symptoms. Current research has adopted a more complex, nuanced understanding of both disorders, acknowledging the unique interactions of biological, psychological, and social factors, and large datasets (e.g., Dunedin datasets) may help with developing a stronger causality sequence. It’s also noteworthy that severe anxiety can look like ADHD, but the treatment is totally different, as ADHD meds (Stimulants) can make anxiety worse.
