“…For instance, researchers found that up to 25% of children with ADHD have comorbid anxiety disorders ( Wolraich et al, 2005 ). O’Rourke et al (2020) believe that people with ADHD are at a greater risk of having anxiety symptoms and its associated features than people without ADHD. Similarly, Gau et al (2010) noticed that children and adolescents with persistent ADHD have a higher risk of developing anxiety disorders than those without persistent ADHD.…”

Objective: This study investigates whether the dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) of the amygdala subregions is altered in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods: The dFC of the amygdala subregions was systematically calculated using a sliding time window method, for 75 children with ADHD and 20 healthy control (HC) children.Results: Compared with the HC group, the right superficial amygdala exhibited significantly higher dFC with the right prefrontal cortex, the left precuneus, and the left post-central gyrus for children in the ADHD group. The dFC of the amygdala subregions showed a negative association with the cognitive functions of children in the ADHD group.Conclusion: Functional connectivity of the amygdala subregions is more unstable among children with ADHD. In demonstrating an association between the stability of functional connectivity of the amygdala and cognitive functions, this study may contribute by providing a new direction for investigating the internal mechanism of ADHD.

“…The aim is to increase the number of specialized psychiatric services in which clinicians with specific training and expertise in the assessment and treatment of ADHD enable faster diagnosis and implement effective treatment. phobia than panic disorder [8]. Substance use disorder (SUD) is twice as common in individuals with ADHD compared to the general population, particularly in the use of alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, and cocaine [9].…”

“…Panic disorder has been associated with cyclothymic and dysthymic temperamental traits in major depressive patients presenting with atypical features [ 49 ] and with short hypomanic episodes in patients with recurrent brief depressions [ 50 ]. In contrast, only a few studies have assessed panic comorbidity in adults with ADHD, and conflicting findings have emerged from comparisons with healthy controls [ 51 , 52 ]. In addition, panic disorder has been demonstrated as the least prevalent anxiety disorder in children with ADHD [ 53 ], and polygenic risk for ADHD has been negatively associated with panic disorder in a Japanese study [ 54 ].…”

Comparison of Emotional Dysregulation Features in Cyclothymia and Adult ADHD

et al. 2021

Background and Objectives: Emotional dysregulation is central to the problem of the overlap between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and cyclothymia. The aim of the study was to evaluate comorbidity rates between ADHD and cyclothymic disorder and to explore demographic and clinical differences among the groups, focusing on affective temperament and emotional dysregulation. Materials and Methods: One hundred sixty-five outpatients attending the Second Psychiatry Unit at the Santa Chiara University Hospital (Pisa) were consecutively recruited: 80 were diagnosed with ADHD, 60 with cyclothymic disorder, and 25 with both conditions. Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego (TEMPS-M) and the 40-item version of Reactivity, Intensity, Polarity, and Stability questionnaire (RI-PoSt-40) were administered. Results: Cyclothymic patients were more frequently female and older with respect to the ADHD groups. Both comorbid and non-comorbid ADHD patients showed significantly lower educational attainment and more frequently had substance use disorders. Panic disorder was common in non-comorbid cyclothymic patients, who showed significantly higher rates of familial panic disorder, major depressive disorder and suicide attempts in comparison with patients only diagnosed with ADHD. Cyclothymic patients without ADHD were also characterized by fewer hyperthymic temperamental traits, higher depressive and anxious dispositions, and a greater negative emotionality. No significant differences among groups were observed for cyclothymic temperament and overall negative emotional dysregulation, but comorbid patients with both conditions scored the highest in these subscales. This group also showed significantly higher affective instability with respect to ADHD patients without cyclothymia and was less frequently diagnosed with bipolar disorder type II than patients from both the other groups. Conclusions: ADHD and cyclothymia often co-occur and show similar levels of emotional dysregulation. However, cyclothymic patients may be more prone to negative emotionality in clinical settings. Subjects with “sunny” cyclothymic features might escape the attention of clinicians unless ADHD is present.
