Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is frequently comorbid with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, few studies have examined how comorbid BPD-ADHD patients, treated or not with methylphenidate (MPH), respond to psychotherapy compared to non-comorbid BPD patients.

We recruited 73 adults meeting DSM-5 criteria for excoriation disorder, and 50 adult controls. Those...

Cognitive control was measured by a hybrid-designed Stroop task,...
