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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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)
Maria Strauß,Christine Ulke,Madlen Paucke,Jue Huang,Nicole Mauche,Christian Sander,Tetyana Stark,Ulrich Hegerl +7 more
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.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment
TL;DR: Barkley et al. as discussed by the authors discussed the nature of ADHD, primary symptoms, diagnosis criteria, prevalence, and gender differences, and the treatment of ADHD in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Executive Functions and Developmental Psychopathology
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
