Public Health, Time & Executive Functioning

Conjecture

Challenges in TIME MANAGEMENT and other Executive Functioning Issues for People with an IQ over 70 are often not perceived as "REASONABLE."

Further, those TIME MANAGMENT ISSUES are often related to GREATER NOT LESS SENSORY and EMOTIONAL PROCESSING.

There are absolutely GIFTS that come with these Differences --- but some of it can be quite difficult to manage and we need better STRATEGIES & TREATMENTS.

Additionally, a lot of the HELPERS have their own LIMITS --- and our DYSFUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS have a habit of exposing those LIMITS.

I'm highlighting this British Medical Journal Cover for its Observation that we need a NEW DEAL on Disease Definition.

Our current categories are breaking down and nowhere is that more evident than in the outdated DSM 5.

We are needing to integrate Physical, Neuro-Developmental & Mental Health --- just so we can understand what is going on.

Conclusions:   Depressed adolescents with NSSI may have executive dysfunction and NAA and Cho metabolism abnormalities in the thalamus. And the NAA/Cr ratios of the right LN could distinguish NSSI from depressed adolescents. Further, the executive dysfunction may be associated with the abnormal NAA metabolism in the left thalamus and ACC.

Conclusions:   Deficits in initiation and emotional executive functions as well as organization in time abilities and emotional responses to impairments in organizing time affect the QoL of adults with LD and thus should be considered in further research as well as in clinical applications.
