Outline of Final Research Achievements

We pursued PET study for adults with developmental disorder related to abuse, which shows the symptoms of ASD and ADHD. This study reveals depressed dopamine D1 receptor, which may underpin neurophysiologic mechanism of development disorder related to abuse, and which is useful in differential diagnosis of it.　As treatment of a trauma for developmental disorder related to abuse, we developed a chance-EMDR which takes short period, and found the effectiveness in treatment of a trauma.
In regard to pharmacotherapy with a few dosages, we found the effectiveness in treatment of a trauma with the prescription of herbal medicine by Kandabashi. We also found the effectiveness in treatment of comorbidities with a few dosages of antipychotics.
