Journal Highlights

Autism Spectrum

The autism spectrum refers to a group of neurological diseases that are typically characterized by challenges in social interaction and communication, repetitive activities, strong interests, and atypical reactions to sensory input. It is commonly known as autism and, in the context of a professional diagnosis, as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the latter term is not a meaningful description of someone without a diagnosis, and it is still debatable among advocates for neurodiversity, researchers who study neurodiversity, and many autistic people due to the use of the word disorder.

Learning Disability

A problem in the brain that makes it difficult for a person to comprehend or absorb information is known as a learning disability, learning disorder, or learning difficulty (British English). This does not preclude the possibility to learn in a different way given the "difficulty learning in a conventional fashion. Therefore, it is more accurate to refer to some people as having a "learning difference" to prevent any misconceptions about their ability to learn and potential unfavorable stereotypes. While issues like dyslexia and dyspraxia are typically referred to as "learning difficulties," the phrase "learning disability" mainly refers to an intellectual disability in the United Kingdom.

Panic Disorder

A mental and behavioral disorder known as the panic disorder is defined by recurrent, unplanned panic attacks. The abrupt onset of great dread known as a panic attack can include palpitations, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, numbness, or the perception that something horrible is about to occur. Within minutes, symptoms reach their peak intensity. There can be continued concerns about receiving another attack and avoiding areas where attacks have previously taken place. 

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

A mental and behavioral condition known as a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable, and frequently unreasonable worry about certain things. People with GAD are frequently too anxious about everyday issues like health, finances, death, family, relationship issues, or work challenges. Worry frequently gets in the way of daily functioning. Excessive concern, restlessness, difficulties sleeping, tiredness, irritability, sweating, and trembling are a few possible symptoms.

Gender Dysphoria in Children

Children who experience considerable dissatisfaction (gender dysphoria) due to a mismatch between their assigned sex and gender identity are given the formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria in children (GD), also known as gender incongruence of childhood. Before it was renamed gender dysphoria in children in 2013 with the release of the DSM-5, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) used the diagnostic term gender identity disorder in children (GIDC). To avoid the stigma attached to the term disease, the diagnosis was renamed.
