The Single Inferno’s Star is here, the one and only Cha Hyun Seung

Editor's Note

In recent years, South Korea has emerged as a powerhouse in the film industry, delivering some of the most original and high-quality films and shows. While American cinema often relies on past successes for safe profits, South Korea continues to innovate and captivate global audiences. The groundbreaking “Parasite” in 2019 marked a turning point, showcasing the remarkable talent and storytelling that South Korea has to offer.

“Parasite” made history with its Oscar win for Best Picture, becoming the first Korean film to achieve this accolade. This landmark victory not only elevated Asian representation in media but also signaled the beginning of South Korea’s meteoric rise in entertainment. Alongside the global popularity of K-pop, films like “Parasite” highlight the profound influence of Korean media on American pop culture.

On platforms like Netflix, Korean shows have consistently dominated top recommendation lists. For fans of “Single’s Inferno,” we’re thrilled to feature Cha Hyun Seung from Season 1 in our cover story, where he shares his journey from dancer to reality star.

Additionally, don’t miss our article celebrating the phenomenal success of the girl group Twice. And for our fashion enthusiasts, we’ve recapped the highlights from Paris Fashion Week 2024.

When Hannah Hannon signed up to star in the Indonesian horror drama Pulau Hantu, she was ready for a complete transformation. Armed with a BritishIndonesian accent and brown hair, she stepped into the role of a girly friend in a group that gets lost on a haunted island. After several grueling months of shooting that took the cast and crew from Jakarta to a secluded island, Hannah completed her transformation from a commercial TV personality into a talented actress. Here, we have a candid conversation with her during the promotion of her debut horror film, Pulau Hantu.

Pulau Hantu:

An Interview with HANNAH

Dmuse: Hi Hannah, congratulations on your new movie Pulau Hantu! Can you explain to our readers what the movie is about and what excites you the most about it?

Hannah: Thank you very much! Pulau Hantu follows a group of friends who end up on a lost island haunted by a spirit with a troubled past. I was really excited when I received the role because it was my first horror movie, and we were shooting on an island. The cast and crew were incredible, and I loved working with them.

Dmuse: Your acting looks so natural. Can you share your tips for acting? Do you have a personal mantra?

Hannah: We had a month of table reads, where we learned a lot about our characters. It came naturally for me since Lathi and I share some personality traits. When I arrive on set, I put myself in Lathi’s shoes and truly immerse myself in the scenario we’re shooting. During the scene, I become Lathi—I am my character—and that’s what made me fall in love with acting.

Dmuse: We heard that you started your career as a model. How did you transition from modeling to acting?

Hannah: I never intended to be a model; I did it for fun because I love taking photos and helping out with my friends’ brands and portfolios. Over time, I received an offer to do a commercial, which kickstarted my acting career. After that commercial, I was offered a role in an Indonesian series, and I grew to love the art of acting.

Dmuse: Who is your role model in acting?

Hannah: I don’t necessarily have a single role model, but I’m a fan of Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie. I love their movies!

Dmuse: How does it feel to play a role in a horror movie?

Hannah: I love horror films! The gore, the thrill—I can’t believe I’m finally in one. I’m super grateful for this opportunity, and I hope to do more horror films in the future.

Dmuse: What is your dream movie genre to explore in the near future?

Hannah: I would love to explore every genre and character. If I had to choose, it would be exciting to be in a sci-fi or action movie.

Dmuse: We noticed that you have a great sense of fashion. How would you describe your signature style?

Hannah: Thank you! Comfort is key for me, and I like to keep it simple. I love my selection of pants, which I use to add some color, while I keep my tops more understated.

Dmuse: Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

Hannah: Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! I really hope you all check out Pulau Hantu and enjoy it.

Dmuse: Any upcoming projects you’d like to tease?

Hannah: I would love your support for my next project! Stay tuned!

In the realm of dating reality shows, few faces have captured audience hearts quite like Cha Hyun Seung, a standout star from Korea’s beloved Singles Inferno. With his chiseled physique, striking good looks, and that irresistible mix of charm and mystery, it’s no wonder he quickly became a fan favorite. We had the pleasure of meeting him in Korea to discuss his life, aspirations, and even caught him showcasing his impressive dance moves in front of the camera.

Long before he entered the world of reality television in search of love, Cha Hyun Seung was an acclaimed professional dancer. His resume reads like a who’s who of the K-pop industry; he has performed alongside icons such as Sun Mi, Rain, Stray Kids, and EXO. It was during one of those unforgettable performances with Sun Mi that a fan recorded a video of him, which quickly went viral, solidifying his status within the K-pop community. When asked about his biggest inspiration, he smiles and says, “Rain. We shared a stage together, and Jihoon Hyung (Rain) remains my role model.”

But you might wonder what prompted such a talented dancer to pivot to reality television. Hyun Seung reflects on his youth, saying, “Since I was young, I admired people in front of the camera. It has always been my dream to be an actor, too. As I explored my capabilities, I gradually moved toward pursuing acting, building the courage to chase my dreams.” His determination is palpable; he is not just waiting for opportunities—he is actively making them happen. “I’m still in the phase of changing my career into an actor so I’m working and practicing really hard,” he said “I am so excited to do this awesome photo shoot with Winston Gomez, and thank you so much for reaching me out. And what I want to say to Indonesian fans, I had really good memories when I went to Indonesia.The people are really nice, the ambience is really nice, it’s all nice so if many in Indonesia are wanting me–even though currently many are liking me, please invite me a lot! I think it’ll be really nice if we can meet many times in Indonesia. Please give me a lot of love.”

During our photo shoot, Hyun Seung was joined by his best friend Yiheon, an actor who has gained recognition from his role in Netflix’s All of Us Are Dead . “I am immensely grateful to my Indonesian fans,” Yiheon shared, highlighting his connection to his growing audience. “I’ve come a long way, and I’m excited for my next projects, including Hellbound 2 and another Netflix show that will be coming soon.” His unique look—a distinctive medium bob haircut paired with a strikingly tall and robust figure—only adds to his international appeal.

Hyun Seung has also broadened his horizons by appearing

in Netflix’s Physical: 100 , where his athletic prowess and “unstoppable” spirit mirror the exceptional qualities we all remember from Singles Inferno . Meeting him in the studio was an unforgettable experience; his well-defined physique and charming demeanor immediately draw you in. One can’t help but wonder how someone with such remarkable qualities remains single.

As you enjoy this exclusive feature, prepare to be captivated by his handsome features and impeccable posture, all while being treated to a glimpse of his artistic dancing flair. Cha Hyun Seung is not just a golden boy—he’s a rising star with a bright future ahead.

The Best Scary Stuff on Streaming in Time for Halloween 2024

Streamers are loading up on their horror selections this month, but IndieWire’s narrowed down the best of the best for your viewing pleasure.

MOVIE

production of which is categorized as one of cinema’s biggest messes, but the one actually worth watching is currently streaming on the Criterion Channel. The 1932 sci-fi horror ‘Island of Lost Souls’ stars screen legends Charles Laughton and Bela Lugosi and stretches the limits of the pre-code era in Hollywood with its ghastly depictions human/animal mutations. Like ‘Haxän,’ it was banned in many countries, but has since found a cult following.

In honor of its feature adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘Salem’ s Lot ’ being released on Max, the streamer has also made the original 1979 mini-series available and we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Capitalizing on the emotional depth of King’s material while still playing up the violent terror one expects from a horror piece, ‘Salem’ s Lot ’ is everything one could want out of a vampiric overthrow and then some.

Other standouts include ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,’ which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and is streaming on Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, Tubi, and Pluto TV; the 1992 original version of ‘Candyman,’ also streaming on Peacock; and lastly, Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 cult classic, ‘ Possession, ’ currently available on Shudder.

Modern Macabre

In anticipation of the release of ‘ Terrifier 3 ’ next week, why not catch up on the first two bloody and ridiculous installments? Both can be found on Amazon Prime Video (the first can be found on Peacock as well) and follow the exploits of serial killer Art the Clown as he unleashes a reign of violence on Halloween night. From hacksaw mutilations to face-melting acid, Art’s varied forms of terror are sure to scare up a fun night for all. Unless you have a sensitive stomach of course.

For those seeking a less gory affair, Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning ‘Get Out’ is streaming on Peacock and continues to hold up as one of the great — if not the greatest — horror films in recent memory. Tapping into and, one could argue, revitalizing racial discourse in America, Peele’s 2017 masterpiece starring Daniel Kaluuya is both a hilarious and stirring evocation of the tension bubbling under the surface. When a Black photographer (Kaluuya) takes a trip to the family home of his white girlfriend (Allison Williams), he soon comes to find that she and her cohort may have more sinister aims than he imagined.

If a little bloodshed is what the doctor ordered, might we suggest the 2023 entry into the ‘Evil Dead’ franchise, ‘Evil Dead Rise,’ currently streaming on Netflix and Max. Still not enough? Normally we’d recommend a therapist, but since we’re feeling the holiday spirit, why not check out a few cult favorites like ‘ Jennifer ’ s Body ’ on Hulu or ‘Ma’ on Peacock.

Freaky Franchises

The horror genre loves repeating itself, either cause there’s always more violence to unleash or because the box office is just too good not to roll the dice. And while plenty of sequels have failed to do better than their originals (see ‘The Exorcist’), plenty more have

New Nightmares

The truly unexpected is at the heart of what can make a scary film so terrifying, so we feel it’s also important to shout out a few entries debuting this month, starting with the Sarah Paulson-starring period horror, ‘Hold Your Breath,’ which recently premiered at TIFF. Co-starring ‘The Bear’ favorite Ebon Moss-Bachrach and set in 1930s Oklahoma, the film uses the events of the Dust Bowl to craft the tale of a haunting on the plains. It was released as a Hulu original film through Searchlight Pictures and is now currently available on the platform as of October 3.

If you’re looking for something more long-form, the new TV series ‘Teacup’ starts streaming on Peacock October 10 with two new episodes released each subsequent week, the final two premiering on Halloween. Based on Robert R. McCammon’s 1988 horror novel ‘Stinger,’ this adaptation from producer James Wan moves the original setting of Texas to rural Georgia and follows a disparate community as they come together to face an evil threat. The series stars Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman, and Rob Morgan and the first two episodes recently premiered at Fantastic Fest to high praise.

Also worth acknowledgement, two Netflix films that are sure to frighten up some views. The first is Sundane breakout ‘It’s What’s Inside,’ produced by actor Colman Domingo and starring Brittany O’Grady (“The White Lotus” ), James Morosini ( “I Love My Dad”), Gavin Leatherwood (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Nina Bloomgarden (“The Resort”), Alycia Debnam-Carey (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Reina Hardesty (“The Flash” ), Devon Terrell ( “Rap Sh!t”), and David Thompson (“The Boys”). Taking place over the course of one night, a group of friends gather to celebrate one of their weddings and engage in a game that allows participants to swap bodies with one another. In the process, these friends learn more about each other and themselves than they bargained for. The film is now available to stream on Netflix as of October 4.

The next big release for the streamer is Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, ‘Woman of the Hour,’ a period thriller set in 1978 that tells the story of a serial killer who managed to appear on the popular game show, ‘The Dating Game.’ The film premiered at TIFF in 2023 where IndieWire called it a ‘mainstream study of the tension between heterosexual desire and implied violence.’ It streams on Netflix Friday, October 18.

MOVIE

Foreign Frights

There’s nothing like a little language or cultural barrier to intensify your sense of dread and no better example than Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s 1997 psychological thriller ‘Cure.’ Before he warmed hearts in Wim Wenders’ meditative drama ‘Perfect Days,’ Japanese actor Koji Yakushio brought deep unease to global audiences with his turn as a Tokyo detective following a string of murders he comes to find may involve hypnosis or other supernatural abilities. Credited with igniting the popularity of Japanese horror during the late ’90s and early 2000s, ‘Cure’ is currently available to stream on the Criterion Channel, along with another favorite of the era, ‘Ring’ from Hideo Nakata. This was later remade in America as the highly popular Naomi Watts vehicle, ‘The Ring,’ directed by Gore Verbinski.

On Shudder, you can find the original 2022 Danish version of ‘Speak No Evil,’ recently remade in English with James McAvoy to tepid response, as well as the Australian monster hit ‘The Babadook,’ this year celebrating its 10th anniversary. ‘Speak No Evil’ was written and directed by Christian Tafdrup and tracks a family’s descent into violence as they’re made to face the toxic tension put upon them by another family. ‘The Babadook’ deals in more dour themes, exploring parenting, grief, and generational trauma by way of a terrifying, black-hatted monster lurking in the basement.

If this isn’t enough to satiate your evil desires, give the Italian exploitation horror ‘ Cannibal Holocaust ’ or Swedish vampire period piece ‘Let the Right One in’ a try on Peacock.

Recent Repulsions

Not able to catch all of this year’s scary releases in theaters? Not a problem, as most of them have found their way to streaming. We recommend starting on ‘Late Night with the Devil’ starring Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve favorite David Dastmalchian. Utilizing found footage and documentary style filmmaking, ‘Late Night’ takes a look back at the fictional Halloween broadcast of a 1977 talk show, in which the host brings on a seemingly possessed girl, unleashing hell on his studio audience. It has been widely praised by horror aficionados like Stephen King and can currently be streamed on Shudder.

breakout Sundance hit ‘I Saw the TV Glow’ is also now officially streaming on Max after having a decent limited theatrical run at the start of Summer. It stars Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Fred Durst, and Danielle Deadwyler and calls on influences ranging from David Cronenberg to the kid’s show ‘The Adventures of Pete & Pete’ to craft a tale of two young outcasts whose obsession with their favorite TV show calls into question their realities and identities.

Releasing later this month on Max, M. Night Shyamalan’s concert thriller ‘Trap’ starring Josh Hartnett will stream October 25, while the conclusion to Ti West’s ‘X’ film series, ‘ MaXXXine, ’ drops on Friday, October 18.

Jane Schoenbrun’s

been able to top them or at least measure up. Though it may exist in the former category, the ‘Child’s Play’ series has managed to keep fans and newcomers alike terrified of that creepy doll Chucky, spawning an entire film franchise and a TV series. While the original ‘Child’s Play’ is only streaming on AMC+, all of its sequels, including ‘Bride of Chucky,’ are currently available on Netflix.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, ‘Saw,’ as well as all of its NINE sequels are streaming on multiple platforms. The first seven can be found on Peacock, while ‘Jigsaw,’ the eighth installment, is on Netflix, ‘Spiral,’ the ninth entry and standalone sequel, is on Hulu, and the latest addition, ‘Saw X,’ is on Starz. The series follows serial killer John ‘Jigsaw’ Kramer as he kidnaps and tortures victims through a series of physical and psychological tests aimed to rehabilitate them…if they may manage to survive that is.

Other noteworthy franchise highlights include the gross-out black comedy ‘The Toxic Avenger,’ which has spawned a Marvel comic, a stage musical, a video game, an animated series, three sequels, and a reboot that still has yet to see the light of day. The original film series is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, Shudder, Tubi, and Pluto TV. You can also catch the ‘Friday the 13th’ series on Shudder and all of the ‘Alien’ films (excluding ‘Alien: Romulus’), as well as of the ‘Omen’ films (including ‘The First Omen’), on Hulu.

Gore & Giggles

Not every scary movie has to actually be that scary. In fact, some of the best may even illicit laughter. Take for instance Robert Zemeckis’ ‘Death Becomes Her,’ a macabre examination of beauty and immortality that would make an excellent double feature with the recently released ‘The Substance.’ Starring Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis, the film follows two women’s quest for youthful rejuvenation and the havoc they’re willing to wreak to get it. It’s campy, visually entrancing, wonderfully spooky without ever teetering towards the unseemly. It can be streamed on Peacock and Tubi.

Another favorite, Edgar Wright’s feature debut ‘Shaun of the Dead,’ can also be found on Peacock and celebrated its 20th anniversary this year. The first in the so-called ‘Three Flavours Cornetto’ trilogy, which also features ‘ Hot Fuzz ’ and ‘The World’ s End, ’ the horror spoof follows two friends (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) as they fight to survive a zombie apocalypse in London.

For something more fanciful, try Tim Burton’s ‘ Edward Scissorhands ’ on Hulu. Featuring one of the final performances from horror screen icon Vincent Price, the dark fantasy is both an ode to monster movies past and a loving subversion of standard frightfests, injecting elements of romance and suburban terror to create a wholly original entity that still holds up today.

It’s that special time of year again, folks. A time when pumpkins come out, ghouls are prone to haunt, and streamers of all variety load their platforms with terrifying selections aimed at attracting horror fans and casual viewers alike. This year, those selections are quite exceptional, with loads of franchises like “Saw” and “The Omen” to keep people glued to their TV all the way up to Halloween. Not interested in violence or gore? Put away your fears, as there are plenty of options for the more tame and easily frightened. From classic Stephen King adaptations like “Salem’ s Lot ” (1979) to recent theatrical releases that are now streaming, such as “Late Night with the Devil,” if you’re looking for a good scare, you can probably find a few one or more of the apps your subscribe to.

There are so many terrific terrors that we actually weren’t able to name them all in our curation below. Outside of this list, there’ s also giallo treasures from Italian horror maestro Dario Argento on Criterion Channel, including the supernatural epic “ Suspiria, ” the genre-defining “Deep Red,” and the incredibly meta “Tenebrae.” Criterion also has many favorites from Canadian filmmaker David Cronenberg, such as the sci-fi cult classic “Videodrome,” his deeply unsettling adaptation of “The Fly” starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis, and the psychologically shocking “The Brood.” Lastly, no Halloween season is complete without a little John Carpenter and some of his best work is featured across multiple platforms, from “The Fog” and “ Christine ” on Criterion, to “The Thing” on Peacock.

Multiple films on our list are also celebrating anniversaries this year, including Jennifer Kent’s “The Babadook,” which recently turned 10, as well as “Shaun of the Dead,”

which had a theatrical re-release last month to celebrate 20 years since it first came out. We also highlight a few options that have yet to drop, but will be coming out later this month. So whether it’s classics or fresh from theaters, IndieWire has you covered on the best stuff to watch in honor of spooky season. Keep reading below to find out our picks.

Creepy Classics

No better way to lean into Halloween season than by turning back the clock and we’ve got some perfect treasures of cinema that do just that. Streaming on Max, Tubi, and the Criterion Channel, the silent Swedish horror film ‘Haxän’ is sure to summon fear from any viewer. Weaving a documentary approach with dramatic, fictionalized recreations, this graphic and psychologically haunting exploration of witchcraft’s supposed history, from the Middle Ages into the 20th Century, continues to hold up. The film wasn’t shown widely upon its release, as its depictions of violence, sexuality, and satanic practices rubbed up against most cultures at the time, but it has since seen multiple restorations and universal acclaim.

Perhaps the most famous (or infamous) adaptation of H.G. Wells’ ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’ is the 1996 version starring Val Kilmer and Marlon Brando, the

The New Superfood in Skincare: Grape

Seed Oil

An oil can be an ideal final step in your skincare routine after cleansing, applying serum, and then layering on your daily moisturizer. Not only does it boost hydration, but it also locks in all of those nourishing ingredients. Marula and jojoba oils may already be at the top of your list, but grapeseed oil is another option to have on your radar— Dr Zunaid Alli and Dr Maryam Zamani run us through all the benefits, below.

patch test first, to check that you don’t have a reaction. Dr Zamani suggests choosing “a cold-pressed and organic grapeseed oil to ensure the highest quality and avoid additives or chemicals that can cause skin irritation. Grapeseed oil can also go rancid quickly due to its high polyunsaturated fat content. It should be stored in a cool, dark place and used within six months after opening.”

A lightweight oil, “it’s non-comedogenic and does not clog pores, hence why it is also utilized within skin facial treatments,” Dr. Alli adds.

Can grapeseed oil be cooked with and ingested?

Safe for cooking and eating, grapeseed oil “has a high smoke point (around 420F/215C), making it suitable for frying, sautéing, and baking,” says Dr Zamani. “Very neutral in flavour, it’s very versatile for culinary use, however, due to its high omega-6 content, it should be consumed in moderation to maintain a balanced ratio of fatty acids in the diet.”

which helps to protect the skin from environmental damage and maintains the skin’s structure. Furthermore, grapeseed oil has also been shown to promote wound healing and reduce scarring.”

What are the benefits of grapeseed oil?

“Grapeseed oil is rich in omega-6 essential fatty acids and polyphenols which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties,” says Dr. Alli. “Vitamin E is also present in the oil

Is grapeseed oil beneficial for acne sufferers?

It can certainly help. “Allowing for lightweight moisturization of the skin without clogging pores, it also helps the skin to heal and maintain its integrity,” explains Dr Alli. “Grapeseed oil can additionally soothe irritation and redness, whilst its antimicrobial properties can further help to minimize breakouts and stabilize the skin.”

What should one be mindful of when adding grapeseed oil to their skincare regime?

Grapeseed oil is a natural product and does have skincare benefits. Still, as with any new addition to your skincare routine, it is crucial to do a patch test first, to check that you don’t have a reaction. Dr Zamani suggests choosing “a cold-pressed and organic grapeseed oil to ensure the highest quality and avoid additives or chemicals that can cause skin irritation. Grapeseed oil can also go rancid quickly due to its high polyunsaturated fat content. It should be stored in a cool, dark place and used within six months after opening.”

What Is ADHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder — one of the most common in children. In fact, Nearly 10 percent of US kids are diagnosed with ADHD between the ages of 2 and 17. The condition is marked by executive dysfunction, or disruption in ability to manage emotions, thoughts and actions, per the Cleveland Clinic. Those with ADHD may have difficulty:

• Managing behaviors

• Regulating mood

• Staying organized

• Concentrating

• Paying attention

• Following directions

• Controlling overactivity

Types of ADHD

Doctors now recognize three distinct types of ADHD, per Johns Hopkins Medicine:

• Predominantly inattentive, with symptoms like daydreaming, forgetfulness, and distractibility.

• Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, which is characterized by fidgeting, recklessness, and impulsivity.

• A combination of predominantly inattentive and predominantly hyperactive-impulsive. This is the most common type of ADHD>

How Is ADHD Diagnosed?

There is no one test for an ADHD diagnosis. But diagnosis typically starts with an evaluation from a mental health professional, like a psychologist or psychiatrist, or by a primary care provider, like a pediatrician, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Providers will use the guidelines in the American Psychiatric Association’s “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth edition (DSM-5)” to help diagnose the

condition.

The condition almost always starts in childhood, even if it’s not diagnosed until later, says Stephen Hinshaw, PhD, a distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley and an ADHD specialist.

There’s also a gender gap in diagnosis: boys (who usually have hyperactive-impulsive or mixed ADHD) are more than twice as likely to be diagnosed in childhood than girls (who more often have the inattentive form). That’s partially because the inattentive type is “less noticeable to adults,” he says. So while boys’ symptoms are spotted, evaluated, and treated, girls’ might go overlooked, delaying diagnosis. But even though people with inattentive-type ADHD may be able to develop coping strategies without realizing that’s what they’re doing, not getting a diagnosis can be harmful. Research shows that untreated ADHD can increase the risk of anxiety and depression.

People of color, including Black, Asian, and Latinx people, are also underdiagnosed. Black children specifically are diagnosed at “two-thirds the rate of white children, despite displaying greater ADHD symptomatology,” according to a study in Clinical Psychology Review. This gap may be due to implicit biases and racism causing teachers or doctors to attribute the symptoms of children of color to behavioral issues rather than ADHD. Family beliefs about the condition and access to healthcare could also play a role.

Where does grapeseed oil originate?

A byproduct of the wine-making process, “the purest form of grapeseed oil is formed via cold pressing, in order to ensure that solvents and chemical residue is extracted from the oil,” explains Dr. Alli.

Can grapeseed oil be applied topically to the skin?

Yes, grapeseed oil can be applied directly onto the skin. “Already a popular ingredient in skincare due to its lightweight texture and high content of antioxidants, vitamin E, and fatty acids, it’s often used in massage oils, moisturizers, and as a carrier oil for essential oil,” Dr. Zamani tells Vogue .A lightweight oil, “it’s non-comedogenic and does not clog pores, hence why it is also utilized within skin facial treatments,” Dr. Alli adds.

What Is ADHD? Here’s a Primer on the Common Neuro Disorder

This informational guide, part of PS’s Condition Center, lays out the realities of this health concern: what it is, what it can look like, and strategies that medical experts say are proven to help. You should always consult your doctor regarding matters pertaining to your health and before starting any course of medical treatment.

We all know the stereotype of a person with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): a child or young adult, typically a man, who acts impulsively and can’t sit still. But that image doesn’t tell the whole story. Women suffer from the disorder, too. And because women’s symptoms are often subtler, they’re more likely to fly under the medical radar and remain undiagnosed until adulthood — which is a problem, since untreated ADHD can have a serious impact on your life.

What’s more, there still tends to be tons of misconceptions around the condition, particularly online. And there isn’t as much research on adult ADHD. Ahead, a breakdown of ADHD, including types of ADHD, causes of ADHD, and best management/treatment options for ADHD.

Causes of ADHD

There’s no single cause of ADHD, but several different factors may be associated with the condition.

• Genetics may predispose people to ADHD. Research shows ADHD runs in families. A number of genetic variants, rather than a single gene, seem to increase the risk.

• Environmental factors , like lead exposure in childhood, may play a role, reports the Mayo Clinic.

• Parents’ lifestyle habits. Smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancy seems to increase the risk of the child later being diagnosed with ADHD, according to a study in the journal Psychiatry Research.

• Premature and low-birth-weight babies appear to be more likely to develop the disorder, too, a 2018 review of 12 studies found.

Most Effective ADHD Treatments

Treatment is individual and often involves one or a combination of the following: medications (typically stimulant medications like Adderall, but sometimes antidepressants or atomoxetine, a cognition-enhancing medication); cognitive behavioral therapy, which teaches you skills for behavioral management and helps you recognize and shift negative thought patterns; and lifestyle habits. Dr. Hinshaw, for instance, recommends that people with ADHD aim to do 30 minutes of aerobic exercise every day and avoid sugar and refined carbs. “Healthy lifestyle habits can’t cure ADHD,” he notes, “but they support brain health — and over the long term, they can help.”
