Join me for my Weekly Mental Health Recap and Q&A! Livestream every Tuesday at 10:00am West Coast USA / 1:00pm East Coast USA / 7:00am Hawaii / 7:00pm Central European Videos released this week: Acetylcholine and ADHD    • Acetylcholine and ADHD   DNA Testing for ADHD?    • DNA Testing For ADHD?   After a 1 minute recap of each video, I’ll be available for questions on these topics or any other related to Mental Health. Acetylcholine and ADHD: Dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin get most of the attention, but acetylcholine is more abundant, and at least as important as these other neurotransmitters in both the brain and the body. A new agent for schizophrenia that works on acetylcholine may help bring more attention to the role this neurotransmitter plays in several prefrontal cortex executive function circuits. DNA Testing for ADHD?: ADHD shows quite high rates of heritability, but we are no longer in the era where researchers are looking for a single dopamine receptor gene that explains this. ADHD is polygenic, meaning that specific variants of hundreds of different genes contribute to the likelihood of developing ADHD. Despite claims to the contrary, currently genetic testing is not able to tell you what medications will work well for treating your ADHD symptoms. ----- You can also discuss and ask questions on my Reddit page:   / drjohnkruse   Follow   / dockruse   on Medium for hundreds of full length articles on this subject and more!
