I thought about that when I had those high levels, but I felt that we needed to understand better. I think, yes, that there were some attempts with some medications, and I don't think that led to anything in terms of helping those kids or just helping individuals in general that had high levels of cortisol because of traumatic stress.

But nighttime, you're right, it is a time when basically we fall asleep because we let it go. And this kid's hyperarousability does not allow them to let it go. So if these levels are high, as I was finding, you know, what impact are they having in brain development? And usually the younger you are, the more universally distributed receptors are.

So glucocorticoid receptors could be anywhere at that point. But as we age, they become more localized. And the glucocorticoid receptors and cortisol is a type of glucocorticoid. are more common in areas like the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex, which I also found interesting because these areas relate to the symptoms, right, that many individuals with PTSD have.

And even those attention issues that make them overlap with kids that have ADHD as well. So this frontal limbic pathway, the prefrontal cortex communicating with these emotional areas of the brain, including the amygdala, which is very close to the hippocampus, needed to be investigated in pediatric PTSD. And what I sometimes call pediatric PTSS, because post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Because as I mentioned, there's a group of kids that have post-traumatic symptoms to not fulfill criteria for DSM-5 PTSD, but their function continues to be impaired. Sometimes that's because of comorbidity. There's a high incidence of comorbidity with anxiety and depression.

So most of our studies that have looked at PTSD symptoms also look at the impact of the interventions that we're doing in anxiety and depression as well.

I firmly believe that ADHD does exist. I'm going to say two facts that we know in the field. One, are kids getting overmedicated? The answer is a clear yes. They are getting more medications that they need. For ADHD. For anything in general, kids. Now, in ADHD, they're getting undermedicated. So that's the second fact.
