 | | |  Screen time and ADHD: why social media stands out from gaming and TV Over four years in a large US cohort, greater social media use was associated with small but consistent increases in inattention symptoms in children, while video games and television were not. Genetic risk for ADHD did not modify this inattention association, and analyses supported a directional link from social media use to later attention difficulties. | | | | |  Massive genetics study shows what truly separates and unites 14 psychiatric disorders This large-scale genomic analysis of 14 psychiatric disorders shows that most heritable risk is shared across five broad genetic factors, with only limited disorder-specific variation. The study maps where risks converge or diverge biologically, revealing distinct cell type signatures and developmental pathways that may guide future diagnostic and therapeutic frameworks. | |
