Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
81 / 2
 
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Child_and_Adolescent_Psychiat...
If we look at the international classification of mental illness and behavioral disorders of the World Health Organization (WHO), we can see that over 80% of mental disorders of people are initiated into the stages of childhood and adolescence. Without neglecting that 33% of mental illnesses are exclusive of childhood and adolescence. Since then, in the DSM-IV and DSM-IV.R have corrected some of the questionable parsing of psychiatric disorders into "childhood" and "adult" disorders, recognizing that while many psychiatric disorders are not diagnosed until adulthood, are present in childhood or adolescence.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
43 / 0
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperactive
Hyperactivity can be described as a physical state in which a person is abnormally and easily excitable or exuberant. Strong emotional reactions, impulsive behavior, and sometimes a short span of attention are also typical for a hyperactive person. Some individuals may show these characteristics naturally, as personality differs from person to person. Nonetheless, when hyperactivity starts to become a problem for the person or others, it may be classified as a medical disorder. The slang term "hyper" is used to describe someone who is in a hyperactive state.
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD);
The most common symptoms of ADHD are distractibility, difficulty with concentration and focus, short term memory slippage, procrastination, problems organizing ideas and belongings, tardiness, impulsivity, and weak planning and execution. Not all people with ADHD have all the symptoms. Most ordinary people exhibit some of these behaviors but not to the point where they seriously interfere with the person's work, relationships, or studies or cause anxiety or depression. Children do not often have to deal with deadlines, organization issues, and long term planning so these types of symptoms often become evident only during adolescence or adulthood when life demands become greater. Hyperactivity is common among children with ADHD but tends to disappear during adulthood. However, over half of children with ADHD continue to have symptoms of inattention throughout their lives. One of the things said by parents/teachers of children with ADHD is that it is very much like "Having twenty televisions lined around oneself and having them all turned to a different channel. The volume on each is constantly changing, and one finds it hard to focus on any one thing." Also, noticing things that some non-ADHD people might not notice is not uncommon.

Antarctica Continues To Break Apart
28 / 3
http://overheating.blogspot.com/2008/03/antarctica-continues...
A chunk of ice the size of the Isle of Man has broken away from Antarctica in what scientists believe is further evidence of a warming climate. To put that into perspective the Isle of Man is about 221 square miles!
Satellite images suggest that some of the adjoining ice shelf will collapse in the next few days or weeks. The Wilkins Ice Shelf has been stable for most of the last century, but began retreating in the 1990s. Six ice shelves in the same part of the continent have already been lost, says the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
Professor David Vaughan of BAS said: "Wilkins is the largest ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula yet to be threatened.
"I didn't expect to see things happen this quickly. The ice shelf is hanging by a thread - we'll know in the next few days or weeks what its fate will be."
Jim Elliott, who was on board the plane, said he had never seen anything like it before.
