TL;DR: Adults with ADHD have subtle volume reductions in the caudate and possibly other brain regions involved in attention and executive control supporting frontostriatal models of ADHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personality traits among ADHD adults: implications of late-onset and subthreshold diagnoses.
TL;DR: Full ADHD and late-onset ADHD showed similar personality profiles with significant deviations on all TCI scales except reward dependence and self-transcendence, which calls into question the stringent age of onset of ADHD symptom criteria for adults when making retrospective diagnoses of ADHD.

Efficacy and safety of dexmethylphenidate extended-release capsules in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
TL;DR: Once-daily d-MPH-ER at 20 mg, 30 mg, or 40 mg is a safe and effective treatment for adults with ADHD and overall distribution of CGI-I ratings at final visit was significantly better with each d- Parliamentary methylphenidate dosage than with placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axis I and II comorbidity in adults with ADHD.
TL;DR: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder combined type (ADHD-C) had an excess of externalizing and internalizing Axis I disorders, suggesting a gradient-of-severity relationship between it and ADHD inattentive type ( ADHD-I).

A McLean,Jonathan H. Dowson,Brian Toone,Susan Young,E. Bazanis,Trevor W. Robbins,Barbara J. Sahakian +6 more
TL;DR: The demonstration of neuropsychological dysfunction in the adult ADHD cohort provides some support for the validity of this diagnosis in adulthood and there is broad consistency between the cognitive profile revealed in the current investigation and that previously demonstrated in a study of medication-naïve ADHD children.

TL;DR: It is revealed that EF deficits are consistently found in both ADHD and autism but not in CD (without ADHD) or in TS, and both the severity and profile of EF deficits appears to differ across ADHD and Autism.

Establishment of Diagnostic Validity in Psychiatric Illness: Its Application to Schizophrenia
Eli Robins,Samuel B. Guze +1 more
TL;DR: It was shown by follow-up and family studies that poor prognosis cases can be validly separated clinically from good prediction cases, and the authors conclude that good prognosis "schizophrenia" is not mild schizophrenia, but a different illness.

Comorbidity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with conduct, depressive, anxiety, and other disorders.
TL;DR: The literature supports considerable comorbidity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, learning disabilities, and other disorders, such as mental retardation, Tourette's syndrome, and borderline personality disorder.

Externalizing behavior problems and academic underachievement in childhood and adolescence: causal relationships and underlying mechanisms.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed concepts and measurement issues surrounding externalizing behavior problems and academic underachievement, the strength and specificity of the covariation between these domains, and the viability of explanatory models that link these areas.
