ADHD Briefcase Edition 11

08 Aug ADHD Briefcase Edition 11

This edition of ADHD Briefcase is packed with three diverse topics around ADHD,but each of them very relevant for those of us, who grapple with these clinical problems on a daily basis. The first article by Roux revisits the importance of iron, not only when there
are ADHD symptoms, but in the wider psychiatric field as well. He leads us through the
physiology of iron, and also how it is relevant in the brain. The article then continues
to describe the neurological and behavioural consequences of iron deficiency in ADHD.
This is a succinct overview about what is known about iron metabolism, the brain and the
sequalae of iron deficiencies.
