Trudiagnostic have changed the way they handle the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard algorithm. The result of this initially was that I was globally no 40 and have now dropped to 44. Trudiagnostic are a US company that get samples of blood and they look at the DNA to see which parts of the DNA have methyl groups (CH3) attached to them. These modifications to DNA are called methylation markers. DunedinPACE is an algorithm which uses DNA methylation markers in white blood cells to work out how quickly or slowly someone is aging. I had three results on this. The odd thing about the results was that whilst my epigenetic age calculated from the same methylation markers was going down, the speed at which I was aging was going up. I find this somewhat counterintuitive. It is, however, I think relevant that in a global contest my approach on biochemistry which is quite different to many other people's does seem to keep up with others working in the same area. To that extent it...

Attachment disorder- treatment/ therapy?
Reply Contact
In my placement in children's services, almost every young person I see seems to have a diagnosis of attachment disorder, but it seems few get any sort of help for this, other than possibly a few appointments with CAMHS. Many seem to be placed in residential homes, due to it being recognised they cannot cope with family life following frequent foster placement breakdowns. So it follows that, many, or most, of these children are growing into adults with attachment disorders.
What I'm wondering therefore, as I can't find any information or research about this, is if there are any forms of therapy or treatment that are recognised to be successful with these children/ adults?
I've seen research papers that suggest that attachment problems in childhood are often predisposing factors to the development of borderline personality disorder or other mental health problems- but although attachment disorder seems to be a common 'label' for children, I have never really heard it applied to adults before.
Can anyone help, or point me to any useful articles/ books/ other resources that might provide me some answers?
