Trinity researchers have developed a new gamified mobile health (mHealth) app designed to help people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) manage fatigue, one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of the disease. 

The new approach establishes an opportunity to harness the success of immunotherapies that revolutionized the treatment of childhood leukemias for childhood brain cancers.

The most popular ADHD-related content on TikTok often does not match mental health professionals’ views, potentially influencing how young adults perceive the disorder, a new University of B.C. study has found. An analysis of the 100 most-viewed TikTok videos related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) revealed that fewer than half the claims regarding symptoms made in those videos actually align with clinical guidelines for diagnosing ADHD. Videos with low-quality information or misinformation received a much higher rating from young adults than from clinical psychologists. The more ADHD-related TikTok content a young adult consumes, the more likely they are to overestimate both the prevalence and severity of ADHD symptoms in the general population, and the more likely they are to recommend videos regardless of the information's reliability.
