Impulsivity and Cluster B Personality Disorders

TL;DR: Positive affect led to altered brain activation patterns in BPD patients during impulse control tasks, but no behavioral impairments were found, and future research could be focused on measures that assess impulsive behaviors on a momentary basis as this is a promising approach especially for further ecological validation and transfer into clinical practice.

Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and its association with substance use and substance use disorders in young men.

TL;DR: Preventive strategies that include early intervention and addressing co-morbidity with ASPD may be crucial to reducing substance use and the development of pathological substance use patterns in young men affected by ADHD and, thus, helping to prevent further illness burden later in life.

Systematic review of the epidemiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Arab countries

TL;DR: The prevalence of ADHD in Arab countries is comparable to reports in North America, Africa, and other countries of the Middle East, and longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the prognosis and determinants of this condition in the Arab world.

Unravelling the complexity of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: A behavioural genomic approach

TL;DR: It is established that certain alleles of the genes coding for the dopamine D4 receptor and the dopamine transporter occur more frequently in children with ADHD than in healthy controls, and the authors are finding other DNA changes associated with ADHD.

Brain arousal regulation in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

TL;DR: These findings support the arousal regulation model of ADHD, which interprets hyperactivity and sensation seeking as an autoregulatory reaction to an unstable regulation of brain arousal, and EEG-based arousal parameters may be candidate biomarkers for adult ADHD.

Establishment of Diagnostic Validity in Psychiatric Illness: Its Application to Schizophrenia
