In this volume, we explore topics such as the long-term management of OCD in youth and whether probiotics have a role in managing ADHD symptoms. Are probiotics combined with methylphenidate showing promise?
We also shed light on the controversial use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for adolescents battling severe depression and suicidality. What factors influence its effectiveness? Our exploration continues with noninvasive brain stimulation techniques for neurodevelopmental disorders. How do we ensure their safe application in this population? Lastly, we question the long-term efficacy of escitalopram in adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD).
