Objective: To determine the effects of symptom profile, comorbid psychiatric problems, and treatment on occupational outcome in adult ADHD patients. Method: Adult patients ( N = 414) responded to questionnaires rating past present symptoms ADHD, conditions, history, work status. Results: Of patients, 24% reported being work, compared 79% a population-based control group 359). Combined subtype substance abuse, history depression or anxiety were correlated with out work. Current medical was...
BackgroundPrenatal inflammatory mechanisms may play a role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and could be relevant for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We investigated maternal chronic somatic diseases with immune components as possible risk factors ADHD offspring.MethodsWe performed population-based nested case-control study by linking data from longitudinal Norwegian registers. included all individuals born during period 1967–2008 alive at record linkage (2012)....
ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that persists into adulthood. Its symptoms cause impairments in number of social domains, one which employment. We wish to produce consensus statement on how affects This development conference was developed as result joint international meeting held July 2010. The committee scope (United Kingdom, mainland Europe, United Arab Emirates) and consisted individuals from broad range backgrounds (Psychiatry, Occupational Medicine, Health Economists,...
We aimed at determining whether gender modified associations between ADHD and psychiatric comorbidities in adults.We identified adults with by linking Norwegian national registries compared them the remaining adult population (born 1967-1997, bipolar during 2004-2015, other disorders 2008-2015). Prevalence differences (PDs) prevalence ratios (PRs) of were determined Poisson regression. Interaction was evaluated on additive multiplicative scales. Proportions attributable to calculated.We 40...
To investigate the prevalence of insomnia in adults with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its association clinical subtypes, current ADHD symptoms, stimulant treatment.We obtained diagnostic information, symptom rating scales treatment history from clinically ascertained adult patients diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria (n = 268, mean age 38.1 years) randomly selected population controls 202, 36.5 years). The Bergen Insomnia Scale (BIS) was used measure insomnia....
Abstract Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common and highly heritable psychiatric in children adults. Recent meta‐analyses have indicated an association between genes involved dopaminergic signaling childhood ADHD, but little known about their possible role adult ADHD. In this study of adults with we evaluated the three most commonly studied ADHD candidate genetic polymorphisms; dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) exon 3 VNTR repeat, microsatellite repeat 18.5 kb upstream DRD5...
The Attention Network Test (ANT) generates measures of different aspects attention/executive function. In the present study we investigated whether adults with ADHD performed from controls on accuracy, variability and vigilance as well control network. Secondly, studied subgroups ADHD, expecting impairment alerting networks in a subgroup additional symptoms affective fluctuations. A group 114 (ADHD n = 58; 56) ANT completed Adult Rating Scale (ASRS) Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ). latter...
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum (ASD) share common genetic factors but seem to have specific patterns of psychiatric comorbidities. There are few systematic studies on adults; therefore, we compared comorbidities in adults with these two neurodevelopmental disorders using population-based data analyzed their correlations evaluate underlying factors.Using from Norwegian registries, assessed ADHD (n = 38,636; 2.3%), ASD 7528; 0.4%), both diagnoses 1467;...
Abstract Background Studies on structured skills training groups have indicated beneficial, although still inconclusive, effects core symptoms of ADHD in adults. This trial examined Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-based group treatment (DBT-bGT) the broader and clinically relevant executive functioning emotional regulation adults with ADHD. Methods In a multicenter randomized controlled trial, adult patients were randomly assigned to receive either weekly DBT-bGT or as usual (TAU) during 14...
Article AbstractObjective: Bipolar spectrum disorders (BSD) have several symptoms and features in common with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Here we explored the prevalence of BSD relationship between ADHD adult patients. Method: Norwegian adults diagnosed DSM-IV during 1997 through 2007 (n†‰=†‰510) a random sample 417 controls from general population (aged 18-40 years) were recruited responded to 85 questions rating ADHD, lifetime mood disorders, other comorbid conditions,...
Abstract It has been suggested that symptoms of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is related to low dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex. The enzyme catechol O‐methyltransferase (COMT), which degrades and other catecholamines, important for monoamine signaling this brain‐region, but genetic studies functional Val158Met (rs4680) polymorphism ADHD have inconsistent. However, recently it was shown also common synonymous COMT variants modulate total enzymatic activity by...
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common behavioral affecting children and adults. It has been suggested that gene variants related to serotonin neurotransmission are associated with ADHD. We tested the functional promoter polymorphism 5-HTTLPR seven single nucleotide polymorphisms in SLC6A4 for association ADHD 448 adult patients 580 controls from Norway. Replication attempts were performed sample of 1454 Caucasian 1302 Germany, Spain, Netherlands USA, meta-analysis was...
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasingly recognized as a common not only in children, but also the adult population. Similarly, asthma has substantial prevalence among adults. Previous studies concerning potential relationship between ADHD and have presented consistent results. A cross-sectional study of 594 patients diagnosed with ADHD, compared 719 persons from general Information was collected 1997 2005 using auto-questionnaires rating past present symptoms...
The essential amino acid tryptophan is catabolised mainly through the kynurenine pathway. Altered circulating levels of kynurenines have been reported in chronic inflammatory conditions and several neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression schizophrenia. Candidate gene studies suggest that genes related to catabolism may be associated with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Additionally, ADHD patients often report comorbid or anxiety. In this study we investigated serum...
Abstract Background Although the childhood prevalence of ADHD is higher in males than females, some studies suggest that females report more severe impairment related to symptoms males. The reason for this gender paradox poorly understood. Here we explored sex differences self‐reported among adolescents and adults with without an diagnosis across clinical population‐based Norwegian cohorts. Methods We analysed data from Mother, Father, Child Cohort Study (MoBa) ( N = 90,816; 62% mean age...
Introduction Adversities in fetal life are known risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Despite the pivotal role of umbilical cord, little is about its associations to later NDD. Objective To estimate between cord length and NDD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum (ASD), intellectual disability (ID), cerebral palsy (CP), epilepsy, impaired vision or hearing), whether differed by sex. Materials methods A prospective population-based cohort study...
