Key Takeaways
- NIH-funded RCTs have significantly advanced child and adolescent psychiatry, addressing common disorders like ADHD, depression, and anxiety with evidence-based treatments.
- Evidence-based approaches benefit 75-85% of children with psychiatric disorders, yet gaps remain in understanding developmental trauma disorder and its distinct diagnostic criteria.
- The mental health impact of gluten and undiagnosed ADHD in adolescents, especially females, require further investigation to improve diagnostic and treatment practices.
