A call from school about your child's behaviour can leave you worried or unsure what it means.

Sometimes, what looks like not listening or acting out comes from a genuine difficulty with focus or impulses.

NICE estimates that around 1 in 20 children in the UK have ADHD.

The October break is a good moment to step back and look at the wider picture. If the same concerns keep coming up at home and at school, an assessment can bring clarity for you and your child.

At ROC Clinic Aberdeen, assessments are led by Consultant Paediatricians, and you can self-refer.

ADHD Awareness Month at ROC

ADHD affects how the brain manages attention, activity and self-control, and no two people experience it in quite the same way.

Greater awareness helps families, schools and workplaces respond with patience and understanding, and helps more people get the support that fits them.

For parents, understanding ADHD often starts with a question about their child. Our new article explains what a child ADHD assessment involves, how NHS and private routes work in Scotland, and how to talk to your child about the process.

Blood cancer is Scotland's 3rd biggest cancer killer, yet half of UK adults can't name a single one of its symptoms.

That means many people feel something isn't right without knowing what it could be.

A routine blood check is a simple way to keep an eye on your health before anything feels wrong.

This Blood Cancer Awareness Month, our Blood Health Check gives you a full blood count, blood pressure, and a letter from our clinical team explaining your results, so you know where you stand.

Social media use has been linked to depression. The content that young people are exposed to and its hindrance of healthy sleep and exercise cause harm. If the displacement of healthy lifestyles and cyberbullying can be attenuated, the positive effects of social media use, such as encouraging social interactions, can be more endorsed ->> http://bit.ly/Social-Media-Linked-Depression

Should you eat before or after exercise in the morning? Studies support the second option. Here’s why – of 30 obese or overweight men, those who exercised before breakfast burned twice the fat as men who ate breakfast before they worked out. That's because exercising with no fuel forces the body to turn to stored carbs ->> http://bit.ly/Exercising-Before-Breakfast

Skipping the meal before exercise also made the men's muscles more responsive to insulin, which controls high blood sugars, thus reducing the risk for diabetes and heart disease.
