About The Meeting:
In the mental health field, a long-time lament has been: "There's no blood test." To confirm the presence of a disorder. Or tell one from another. Or gauge how well a treatment is working. This is doubly true with ADHD, where diagnostic boundaries are constantly in dispute. And where standard testing can cost a bundle. Could a simple, inexpensive tool -- tracking eye motion -- make a difference? For more, hear Dr. Jun Maruta of the NYC-based Brain Trauma Foundation. He'll compare the "signatures" of three conditions: ADHD, sleep deprivation, and life after a concussion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ About Our Support Group:
