PURPOSE Although the relationship between enuresis and psychopathology has been studied intensively, little is known about the prevalence of specific psychiatric disorders. We investigate the prevalence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children with nocturnal enuresis and correlate these data with clinical subtypes of enuresis/incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total o...

Evidence is scarce regarding the prevalence of interparental discord in families of adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Using data collected from adolescents with childhood ADHD and comorbid oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD; n = 46) or conduct disorder (CD; n =23), with childhood ADHD-only (n = 26), and without ADHD (n = 88), and their mothers, maternal and adole...

attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common mental disorders in childhood, and it continues to adulthood without proper treatment. stimulants have been used in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (adhd) for many years, and the efficacy of methylphenidate in the treatment of adults with adhd has been proven to be acceptable according to meta-analysis ...

objective: the aim of this study was to examine the differences between adhd subtypes in executive function tasks compared to themselves and normal controls. method: in this study, 45 school aged children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) and 30 normal children who were matched based on age and iq score in wechsler intelligence scale for children-revised (wisc-r) were compare...

BACKGROUND Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder and estimated to affect approximately 10% of children 5% of adults. It associated with impaired functioning. Recognition appropriate treatment can make a substantial difference. OBJECTIVE The aim this article provide framework for recognising ADHD ways that it present at different stages li...

Objective: This study examined the hypothesis that individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, predominantly inattentive type (ADHD-I), show both executive function (EF) deficits and non-EF deficits. Method: A group with ADHD-I (n = 16) and a paired control group (n = 21) completed a battery of tasks covering the major domains of EF (planning, working memory, flexibility and inhi...

It can last into adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused or paying attention, excess motor activity (eg, fidgeting), and difficulty controlling impulsive behavior.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurobehavioral disorder affecting 5% to 10% of children. Although considered to be a highly familial disorder, ADHD heritability estimates of 60% to 80% highlight the considerable role that environmental factors may still play in disorder susceptibility. Proposed ADHD environmental risk factors include prenatal substance exposures,...

BACKGROUND Rates of psychiatric disorders are highly prevalent among prison inmates, and recent evidence confirms over-representation of youths and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The risk for psychiatric co-morbidity may be greater among offenders with ADHD. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of reported rates of co-existing psychiatric morbidity wi...

conclusions similar to previous studies, we found some comorbid psychiatric disorders with adhd. the treatment of the disorder can be improved, by more attention to comorbid psychiatric disorders, early diagnosis of them, and using distinct and specific treatment for everyone. background attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is often associated with other psychological problems. objec...
