Abstract:

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most-common psychiatric disorders; it is highly comorbid with many other psychiatric disorders and associated with substantial role impairment. Untreated ADHD results in psychiatric comorbidity, relationship and parenting problems, underachievement, frequent job losses, and opportunistic delinquency. Nevertheless, ADHD remains the most under-recognised and undertreated mental health condition in adults. This article discusses the clinical presentation of ADHD in adulthood with a particular focus on recognition, assessment and management of ADHD in adults in primary care.

Abstract:

Adults with putative attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are increasingly being referred to psychiatric clinics, often following a self-diagnosis, and demanding a prescription for stimulant medication. This has disconcerted many clinicians and started a debate on the appropriateness of this diagnosis in adults (Shaffer, 1994; Lomas, 1995; Diller, 1996) that is reminiscent of the controversies of the childhood diagnosis in previous years (Lancet, 1986). At issue is not only concern about the widespread use of stimulant medication, but also a neurobiological understanding of impulsivity, hyperactivity and antisocial behaviour and the genesis of some psychiatric disorders in adults. How is the validity of this disorder in adults then to be established?

Abstract:

Among the disorders that are most extensively investigated in medicine, especially in pediatrics, ADHD is considered a neuro-psychiatric disorder with multifactorial development, based on genetic predisposition and neurobiological disruptions. Epidemiological data indicate a global prevalence of 5.29% among individuals under 18 years of age, and recent analysis documents a prevalence of 2.5% in adults.1 Although previously it was considered that it remits in childhood or during adolescence, long-term studies on the term of children and prospective studies on adults with ADHD have shown that the disorder persists even into adulthood.2 In general, problems related to ADHD include, for children, a higher risk of poor school performance, lower academic achievements, lower grades, school suspensions, and extracurricular difficulties. In the case of adolescents, they may experience strained relationships with family, school dropout, aggression, conduct problems, and substance experimentation and abuse. In the case of adults, there may be accidents related to driving and violations of traffic rules, social difficulties in relationships, marriage, and employment.2 ADHD and comorbid depression are frequently reported, with prevalence rates in individuals with ADHD ranging from 18.6% to 53.3%.3 Similarly, studies have documented comorbidity between ADHD and depressive disorders with rates ranging from 9% to 16%, with a median rate of 7.8%.4

Abstract:

Objective: To compare the neurocognitive profile of a subgroup of patients with ADHD who have a high academic-occupational functioning vs. patients with low functioning. Method: A total of 50 adults with ADHD, 10 with high academic-occupational functioning (ADHD/HF), 20 with low academic-occupational functioning (ADHD-LF), and 20 healthy controls were assessed with a standard neuropsychological battery. Independent sample tests and logistic regression were calculated to compare the performance of the three groups and to identify predictor variables. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in the forward digits subtest between the subtypes of ADHD, but not between ADHD-HF and controls, nor between controls and ADHD-LF. In matrix reasoning subtest, significantly lower performances were registered between both ADHD groups compared to the control group. In the letter number subtest, ADHD-LF obtained a significant lower performance than the control group, but the ADHD-HF group do not differ with the other two groups. Finally, regarding to the binary logistic regression analysis, it could be observed that the only variable that best predicted belonging to these groups has been forward digits, which according to the data of the model would be a protection factor. Conclusion: The profile of patients with high socio-occupational performance was characterized by a better conservation of working memory and the capacity for sustained attention, and a lower tendency to distraction.

Abstract:

The diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults has been a source of controversy, with some prominent researchers questioning its very existence and others suggesting it is an urgent clinical problem. This article reviews five domains of data addressing the validity of adult ADHD: clinical correlates, family history, treatment response, laboratory studies, and long-term outcome. It then shows how the debate over adult ADHD reflects a clash of theoretical paradigms and concludes by suggesting ways in which psychological science can collect the data needed to clarify the validity of adult ADHD.

Abstract:

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is surrounded by confusion and controversy regarding its definition, course, etiology and treatment. Among adults, ADHD is rarely considered a diagnostic reality of primary importance and is often overlooked. This study provides descriptive validity for adult ADHD in distinguishing it from controls, and identifying both a pure condition and one wrought with comorbidity.

Abstract:

Recent literature suggests that not only does Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD) persist into adulthood, but it can also be accompanied by personality characteristics which cause emotional difficulties. In fact, adults diagnosed with ADHD can present with a profusion of difficulties. Several constructs appear to accumulate dynamically throughout development to place the adult with ADHD at risk for multiple emotional problems. These interwoven influences include familial characteristics, childhood emotional and academic difficulties, and inadequate coping skills to respond to adulthood pressures. This document, first, describes a developmental model for conceptualizing negative trajectories leading to nonadaptive coping and psychopathology and identifies personality factors of adults diagnosed with ADHD. This model provides clinicians and researchers with a better understanding of the complexity and challenges of adulthood ADHD in order to aid in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The purpose of this study is to examine personality factors common to adults diagnosed with ADHD and compares these characteristics with a group of adults diagnosed with a depressive disorder. Adults responding to a community advertisement who provided documentation of the diagnosis of Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder were administered the MMPI-2. This ADHD group was compared with MMPI-2 profiles of a group of adults diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder or Dysthymic Disorder. A cluster analysis procedure was performed and results are discussed.

Abstract:

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental, complex and highly heritable disorder characterised by age-inappropriate symptoms of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity that impair the daily functioning of patients. These symptoms typically initiate in childhood and persist over time in around two thirds of the diagnosed children. There is evidence that both common and rare genetic variants contribute to the risk for the disorder, with heritability estimates around 76% that seem to remain stable across the lifespan. However, the genetic variation associated with ADHD to date only explain a modest proportion of the phenotypic variance. In this context and taking into account that environmental factors also play a role into the disorder’s susceptibility, it has been proposed that epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation (DNAm) could be contributing as plausible mechanisms by which environmental influences lead to functional and/or structural brain alterations found in ADHD. Given this background and bearing in mind that the genetic and epigenetic investigations conducted on ADHD have been mainly focused on its childhood presentation, the objectives of the present doctoral thesis have been to explore the contribution of common genetic variants to the risk for ADHD across the lifespan and to examine whether there are DNAm patterns specifically associated with ADHD in adults. Firstly, to investigate the genetic basis of ADHD through a lifespan perspective, we have conducted the largest meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS-MA) on persistent ADHD in adults to date, a GWAS-MA on ADHD in childhood, and a GWAS- MA on ADHD across the lifespan using data from children and adults in a total sample of 17,149 cases and 32,411 controls. Through this approach, we have identified nine new independent loci associated with ADHD across the lifespan and we have shown that the proportion of common genetic variation contributing to the disorder seems to be stable over time. Moreover, our results have revealed a high genetic overlap between ADHD in childhood and persistent ADHD in adults, driven by the whole group of children, and similar patterns of genetic correlation between ADHD and other ADHD-related phenotypes and different traits and disorders across the lifespan. Secondly, by conducting the largest epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) of ADHD in adults to date, comprising 103 clinical samples of adults with ADHD and 100 controls, we have identified DNAm patterns associated with ADHD in adults. Our results have shown that these patterns are not driven by the individuals’ smoking status or polygenic risk burden for ADHD, neither by exposure to stressful life events in the group of cases. Moreover, the localization of these DNAm patterns in or near genes previously involved in cancer, and the enrichment found for epigenetic signatures of smoking behaviour and maternal smoking among our findings, have reinforced that smoking behaviour is a key factor to account for in this type of analyses. In addition, our enrichment analyses results have supported that genome-wide DNAm is developmental- stage specific and point to an overlap between genetic and epigenetic signatures in ADHD that needs to be further studied in larger samples. In conclusion, the results of the present doctoral thesis provide new insights into the genetic basis of ADHD across the lifespan, support the hypothesis of the neurodevelopmental origin of persistent ADHD in adults, and shed light on the epigenetic signatures characterising ADHD in adults.
El trastorn per dèficit d'atenció i hiperactivitat (TDAH) és un trastorn del neurodesenvolupament, complex i altament heretable caracteritzat per símptomes d’inatenció, impulsivitat i hiperactivitat inapropiats per l’edat que deterioren el funcionament diari dels pacients. Aquests símptomes normalment s’inicien a la infància i persisteixen en el temps en aproximadament dos terços dels nens diagnosticats. Hi ha evidències que recolzen que tant variants genètiques comunes com rares contribueixen al risc del trastorn, amb una heretabilitat estimada al voltant del 76% que sembla mantenir- se estable al llarg de la vida. Tanmateix, la variació genètica associada al TDAH fins ara només explica una modesta proporció de la variància fenotípica. En aquest context, i considerant que els factors ambientals també tenen un paper en la susceptibilitat al trastorn, s’ha proposat que les marques epigenètiques com la metilació de l’ADN (ADNm) podrien contribuir com a mecanismes mitjançant els quals les influències ambientals condueixen a alteracions funcionals i/o estructurals del cervell en el TDAH. Tenint en compte aquest context i donat que les investigacions genètiques i epigenètiques realitzades sobre el TDAH s’han centrat principalment en la seva presentació infantil, els objectius de la present tesi doctoral han sigut explorar la contribució de les variants genètiques comunes al risc de TDAH al llarg de la vida i examinar si hi ha patrons d’ADNm associats específicament amb el TDAH en adults. En primer lloc, per investigar les bases genètiques del TDAH al llarg de la vida, hem realitzat la meta-anàlisi més gran d’estudis d’associació de genoma complet (GWAS- MA) en TDAH persistent en adults fins al moment, una GWAS-MA en TDAH a la infància i una GWAS-MA en TDAH al llarg de la vida amb dades de nens i adults en una mostra total de 17,149 casos i 32,411 controls. Mitjançant aquesta aproximació, hem identificat nou nous loci independents associats amb el TDAH al llarg de la vida i hem mostrat que la proporció de variants genètiques comunes que contribueix al trastorn sembla ser estable al llarg del temps. A més, els nostres resultats han revelat un elevat solapament genètic entre el TDAH en la infància i el TDAH persistent en adults, degut a tot el grup de nens, i patrons de correlació genètica similars entre el TDAH i altres fenotips relacionats amb el TDAH i diferents trets i trastorns al llarg de la vida. En segon lloc, realitzant l’estudi d’associació d’epigenoma complet (EWAS) més gran realitzat en el TDAH en adults fins al moment, que comprèn 103 mostres clíniques d’adults amb TDAH i 100 controls, hem identificat patrons d’ADNm associats al TDAH en adults. Els nostres resultats han mostrat que aquests patrons no són deguts al tabaquisme, a la càrrega de risc poligènic per al TDAH, ni a l’exposició a situacions vitals estressants en el grup de casos. A més, la localització d’aquests patrons d’ADNm en gens prèviament implicats en el càncer i l’enriquiment que hem trobat en els nostres resultats per a patrons d’ADNm que caracteritzen el tabaquisme i el tabaquisme matern durant l’embaràs, han reforçat que el tabaquisme és un factor clau a tenir en compte en aquest tipus d’anàlisis. Addicionalment, els resultats de les nostres anàlisis d’enriquiment han recolzat que els patrons d’ADNm en tot el genoma són específics del període de desenvolupament de l’individu i assenyalen un solapament entre marques genètiques i epigenètiques en el TDAH que cal estudiar en més profunditat en mostres més grans. En conclusió, els resultats de la present tesi doctoral proporcionen nou coneixement sobre la base genètica del TDAH al llarg de la vida, donen suport a la hipòtesi de l’origen del TDAH persistent en adults en el neurodesenvolupament i posen de manifest marques epigenètiques que caracteritzen el TDAH en adults.

Abstract:

It has recently been recognized that adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a valid disorder (Gadow & Weiss, 2001). Much less is known, however, about the assessment of ADHD, and about the functional impairments associated with ADHD, in adults compared to children. The objective of the present study was to characterize the functional impairments in DSM-IV diagnosed ADHD adults compared to community control adults and clinic-referred adults reporting symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and/or impulsivity who did not meet symptom thresholds for the disorder. Method. The sample for this study consisted of 120 adults: 47 adults with ADHD, 43 clinic-referred adults who did not meet criteria for ADHD, and 30 community control adults. All were assessed with a comprehensive battery assessing psychiatric, cognitive, school, and driving impairment. Results. ADHD adults showed significantly more impairment than community control adults on all outcome measures. ADHD adults had subtle cognitive deficits, and higher rates of lifetime conduct problems compared to clinic-comparison adults. ADHD adults did not differ reliably from clinic-comparison adults on measures of internalizing disorders, school problems, or driving impairment. Clinic-comparison adults showed significantly more impairment than community control adults on measures of psychiatric functioning and school impairment. Conclusions. DSM-IV diagnosed ADHD adults show a pattern of clinical features that mirrors well-documented findings among children with the disorder, and show significantly greater impairment than do community control adults. Adults meeting some, but not all, criteria for ADHD fall in between ADHD adults and community control adults, and may warrant treatment. Our results highlight the importance of assessing ADHD in adults in a manner that attends to the potential reduced sensitivity of the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for use in adult populations (Faraon

Abstract:

Individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with and without a learning disorder (LD) and a control group of clinically referred individuals with behavioral problems were compared on four neuropsychological tests of frontal lobe functioning. Test results were collected to examine if ADHD individuals with and without LD have deficits in frontal lobe functioning. Two age groups were used to examine developmental differences. In the six to ten age group there were 27 ADHD, 17 ADHD/LD and seven other clinically referred individuals. In the 11 -20 age group there were 12 ADHD, 23 ADHD/LD and 24 other clinically referred individuals. The ADHD and ADHD/LD groups performed at a lower level than the other diagnostic group on the freedom from distractibility factor of the WISC-R and the omission and commission errors of the Gordon Diagnostic system. Differences for the ADHD and ADHD/LD groups were also found on the number of correct responses for the Gordon Diagnostic system, the Speech Sounds test and the Seashore Rhythm test. The developmental differences that were found were not influenced by diagnosis. The deficits that the ADHD individuals with and without LD demonstrated were not affected by age.

Abstract:

Attention deficit-/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a psychiatric condition that can affect both children and adults. It is characterised by behavioural and attention difficulties. Sleep deficits are a prominent characteristic of the disorder and some of the core symptoms of ADHD are known characteristics of sleep deprivation. The circadian clock is integral to determining the rhythm of the sleep/wake cycle. Furthermore the two main forms of pharmacological treatment for ADHD, namely the psychostimulant methylphenidate, and the non-stimulant atomoxetine, along with the targets of these drugs noradrenaline and dopamine, appear to both interact and be under the regulation of the circadian clock. This thesis aimed firstly to develop a non-invasive technique for the real time RT- PCR quantification of circadian clock gene expression in the human oral mucosa. Secondly to address how circadian clock functioning may be disturbed in adult ADHD via measurement of a number of molecular, endocrine and behavioural markers, for which real-time RT-PCR, ELISA and actigraphy techniques were employed. Thirdly to examine the effects of ADHD medication upon circadian clock protein expression in the rodent brain using immunohistochemistry methods. Here it is demonstrated that disturbances in the rhythmic secretion of endocrine factors that are key outputs and regulators of the master circadian pacemaker, the circadian clock gene expression of a peripheral oscillator and the actigraphic measures of circadian organization of gross behaviour are associated with adult ADHD. Furthermore, both atomoxetine and methylphenidate are shown to effect circadian clock protein expression. Collectively this data suggests a key role for the circadian clock not only in the pathophysiology of adult ADHD but also indicates a role for pharmacological treatments in the modulation of the circadian clock.

Abstract:

Abstract Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by "a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development." (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 2014, p. 59). According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (2014, p. 59) the inattention present in ADHD manifests itself "as rambling on tasks, lack of persistence, difficulty maintaining focus, and disorganization. In adults, these symptoms significantly affect occupational performance, leading to difficulties performing occupations that are "necessary activities that people need, want, and are expected to do" (World Federation of Occupational Therapists, 2012a, p. 2). Most have difficulty staying in their jobs, inconstancy in relationships, and when performing adult responsibilities, these instabilities can interfere with and cause feelings of frustration and guilt (Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, 2022). Occupational performance is characterized as "the achievement of the selected occupation resulting from the dynamic transaction between the client, the context and environment, and the activity or occupation" (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2015, p. 14). In this case the games aim to provide strengthening of the ability to perform these actions, working the executive functions, the "executive functions (EF) refer to the ability to engage in goal-oriented behavior, performing voluntary and self-organized actions" (CAPOVILLA; ASSEF; COZZA, 2007, p. 1).

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the impact of ADHD traits on young drivers’ deviant driving behaviors that may contribute to their involvement in traffic crashes. Methods: A sample of 450 young drivers from the State of Qatar were asked to fill the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale and the Driver Behaviour Questionnaire, in order to examine the impact of self-reported ADHD traits on ordinary violations, driving errors, lapses and aggressive violations. A path analysis model was developed to test the predictability of these ADHD traits on deviant driving behaviours. Results: Male drivers with hyperactivity-impulsivity traits are significantly more likely to report deviant driving behaviors. In contrast, female drivers with inattention traits are more likely to report deviant driving behaviors. The inattention trait has a minor predictive role for young male drivers and is not significantly related to aggressive violations. Female drivers’ aggressive violations are not predicted by the hyperactivity-impulsivity trait, but the inattention traits among those drivers are the strongest predictor of aggressive violations. Conclusion: Theses results have practical implication regarding creating inclusion environment to trainee drivers with ADHD in driving school. This can be achieved by developing special driving training and education programs.

Abstract:

The inclusion of people with Attention Deficit Impulsivity and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), in school, college, university, and work has been developing since the nineteenth century because this disorder has similar symptoms to those of a hungry infant, an anxious or antisocial child, a young impetuous or otherwise without social contact, immature adults, lacking an order or commitment; but in the past it was derived from the responsibility of the elders, from the values instilled and from the culture, from the society itself, where they grew up. The inclusion of people with this disorder is due to a multidisciplinary intervention, family interaction, academic-labor-social, therapies, variety of neurobiological specialists, implementation of Educational Integration Projects (PIE) where the entity and its different human and physical resources must adapt to the students to achieve inclusion; the methodologies and processes of inclusion vary according to the field, that is, in the labor part with respect to the entities of initial, middle, and higher education.

Abstract:

Context: Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, which is an important cause of morbidity and functional limitations. Cortical development malformations represent about 8% of epilepsy cases, and are associated with cognitive deficits, that are frequently diagnosed in childhood. Case report: L.G.M, female, 35 years old, was attended in an emergency department with psychotic symptoms, aggressiveness and lowering of the sensorium. Computed Tomography (CT) scan of the brain evidenced hypodensity and loss of cortico-medullary differentation in the left temporo-parietal region. The neuroimaging findings motivated the referral to our service for investigation. Upon admission, has been shown a history of frequent focal motor and non-motor seizures associated with cognitive deficit since the age of 12. During hospitalization, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain was performed, which showed subependymal heterotopy of gray matter (Figures 1 and 2). Since then, the monotherapy treatment with carbamazepine aiming at seizure control was chosen. Discussion and conclusion: Cortical development malformations can be classified into three groups of abnormalities, such as: 1) neuronal and glial proliferation and apoptosis; 2) neuronal migration; 3) cortical organization. A heterotopy of the gray matter is related to the migration disorder of the germinal matrix neurons on the wall of ventricle lateral to the cortex. It is the most frequent anomaly of cortical development. The perception of cognitive deficit associated with epileptic seizures should always awaken to the need for early investigation by image examination, in particular brain MRI, in order to diagnose possible malformations of cortical development.
