@michelle crowley thanks for sharing your story with me...i now see how diabetes can slowly lead to depression

@Daniel Sumner thanks for this explanation indeed Milgram was ahead in the game then.

@Daniel Sumner i look forward to your next quiz it is really educative. Thanks once again.

@Daniel Sumner The most common treatment is Methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is the most commonly used medicine for ADHD. It belongs to a group of medicines called stimulants, which work by increasing activity in the brain, particularly in areas that play a part in controlling attention and behaviour. The worldwide prevalence of this disorder is 5.2%, as uncovered in this issue by a Brazilian research team led by Polanczyk and Rohde. Their elegant research synthesized studies of ADHD from around the world in the most comprehensive literature search undertaken to date. Brilliant questions.

@Daniel Sumner a very interesting read. My question is What was the biggest problem with Milgram's study?

@Daniel Sumner 9/10 was my score

@erajshahzad99 an excellent question. The exact cause of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not fully understood, although a combination of factors is thought to be responsible. 1.Genetics 2.Brain function and structure 3.Certain people are also believed to be more at risk of ADHD, including people: •who were born prematurely (before the 37th week of pregnancy) or with a low birthweight •with epilepsy •with brain damage – which happened either in the womb or after a severe head injury later in life. Research does not support the popularly held views that ADHD is caused by eating too much sugar, watching too much television, parenting, or social and environmental factors such as poverty or family chaos. Of course, many things, including these, might make symptoms worse, especially in certain people Visit this link to learn more https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd/causes/#:~:text=ADHD%20tends%20to%20run%20in,likely%20to%20have%20ADHD%20themselves.

@sametcan i can relate with your curiosity about BPD because i have met several people with this disorder. And also thanks for such an informative video it took me 4 minutes to watch but it was well worth it.

@ayesha naymat Yes it can be really difficult to live with it, also sorry to hear about your teacher she sounds really friendly. There is currently no borderline personality disorder (BPD) medication specifically approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, some drugs have been found to be effective in some cases of BPD. Medications are often used in conjunction with psychotherapy and other treatments rather than being a stand-alone option. Learning more about different borderline personality disorder medications can help you find the right one for you.

@Daniel Sumner really is an awesome post on Operant conditioning thanks for the video. I have a question Can classical and operant conditioning occur at the same time?

Bullying is a serious problem in today’s society, but are the measures set in place suitable enough or should more be done to protect those who are bullied? There are many suicides as a result of bullying so should this make us wonder whether these bullies should be getting more than just a warning and telling off for terrorising someone and possibly leading them to a future filled with anxiety and depression? As bullying is not yet classed as a specific offence, many parents across the UK are debating whether laws and regulations need to be tighter. Around 44% of child suicides are related to bullying which is why it’s such a massive topic of discussion. All schools have an ‘anti-bullying policy’ but the extent to which some schools take it is completely down to that particular institution. While many schools will take bullying extremely seriously, others sometimes ‘play down’ the situation until it appears to have “fizzled out”. There are a number of online campaigns that insist that bullying should be made a criminal offence – but before anything is set in stone and taken higher, the pros and cons need to be analysed. Firstly, bullying leaves lifelong emotional scars and sometimes even physical damage to a person. A number of people deliberate this being the primary reasoning for the whole campaign for stricter laws. Some people insist that yes, bullying can get really out of hand, a life is lost, therefore, you go to prison for manslaughter or murder. After all, if you kill someone by another means, you will go to prison for manslaughter or murder – however, is this the same thing? One of the growing forms of bullying is cyber-bullying, which is an area that many campaigners are trying to deal with. On social media sites the easiest way to avoid cyber-bullying would be to block the person but this doesn’t get justice for the person being bullied. Internet trolls are surfacing daily, commenting and taunting whoever they can, 24/7, with their hateful, vile comments – yet in most situations, nothing more than suspending their accounts is done. So, back to the initial question, should bullying be a criminal offence? Well many people believe that yes it should be as it gets so out of hand that lives are lost. This is a huge, huge issue but whatever you believe, more needs to be done as over half of the UK’s children and young people are being bullied – many with devastating consequences.

@ayesha naymat yes you can do a research on it am sure you would learn more.

@ViktorijaTYes i totally agree with you, An effective mental health system in our schools is needed

@Daniella Moriarty Happy to know this was useful to you..and goodluck with your research and also feel free to share with us👍

@tayyaba ShahzadiWhat is psychological approach in criminology? Psychologists approach the task of explaining delinquent and criminal behaviour by focusing on an individual's personality. In particular, they examine the processes by which behaviour and restraints on behaviour are learned.
