Treatment of psychosis in children and adolescents: a review.
Authors: Pakyurek M, Yarnal R, Carter C
Abstract
Recognition and treatment of psychosis in children remain challenging. This may be partly because of the subtle nature of prodromal features and partly because psychosis-like experiences are rather common in that a rich fantasy life is normative for developing children. Recent research suggests that only about 5% of patients with schizophrenia have an onset before age 15 years. To help with early recognition, an understanding of frequently used concepts and terms such as ultra high risk, attenuated symptoms, and clinical high risk for schizophrenia were revi...

Considering biomedical/CAM treatments.
Authors: Cheng JX, Widjaja F, Choi JE, Hendren RL
Abstract
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widely used to treat children with psychiatric disorders. In this review, MedLine was searched for various biomedical/CAM treatments in combination with the key words "childre", "adolescents", "psychiatric disorders", and "complementary alternative medicine". The biomedical/CAM treatments most thoroughly researched were omega-3 fatty acids, melatonin, and memantine. Those with the fewest published studies were N-acetylcysteine, vitamin B12, and oxytocin, although many biomedical/CAM treatments have no...

Why adolescents use substances of abuse.
Authors: Duhigg D
Abstract
In summary, adolescent substance use is associated with a variety of risks. Using a nonjudgmental and collaborative approach to treating adolescent substance users can yield positive results. Motivational interviewing and the adolescent community reinforcement approach are evidence-based, nonpharmacologic treatments for teens with substance use disorders.

Health insurance, patient protection and Affordable Care Act, and young adults.
Authors: Dodich C, Patel D
Abstract
In summary, the ACA aims to correct some of the shortcomings of our current health insurance systems. It aims to make health insurance more affordable and more accessible and the health insurance systems easier to navigate. For the young adult population, it aims to protect more individuals by allowing them to stay on their parent's insurance longer and by making it easier to choose an insurance plan that is right for them. Those with preexisting medical conditions do not have to worry about being excluded from a health plan because of their medical history. The law is a...

Nonmedical use of prescription medications in young adults.
This article will review the literature on young adult NUPM, focusing first on the characteristics of those young adults engaged in NUPM. Then, we will examine the most common motives for NUPM, the sources young adults use to engage in nonmedical use and the related process of medication diversion. Finally, we will outline treatment and make specific recommendations of ways clinicians can help prevent the spread of NUPM in young adults, completing the work by covering future directions for research.
