“…Additionally, ADHD strongly impacts intimate relationships in adults. Adults with ADHD are more likely to divorce and report less satisfaction and more trouble navigating romantic relationships, and are more likely to have less intimacy and fear of intimacy ( 180 ). ADHD is also associated with intimate partner violence (IPV), anger, hostile conflict, and low conflict resolution ( 180 ).…”

In terms of sexual relationships, Soldati and colleagues ( 177 ) demonstrated that individuals with ADHD report less sexual satisfaction, more sexual desire, more masturbation frequency, more sexual dysfunctions, poorer sexual health and difficulty in romantic relationships.…”

IntroductionAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects up to 5% of the population and is characterised by symptoms of impulsivity, hyperactivity and inattention. These symptoms are significantly impairing and carry additional risks for children and adults with ADHD, including negative mental health (e.g. depression), physical health (e.g. obesity) and societal outcomes (e.g. imprisonment, divorce). Very few studies have attempted to synthesise these risks in one publication due to the breadth of evidence published on the adverse outcomes of ADHD.MethodsAn umbrella review was performed to identify reviews (systematic, meta-analysis and narrative) that investigate the risks arising from having ADHD. We conducted a narrative synthesis of the findings and conducted a quality review of the included publications.ResultsUpon searching five databases, 16,675 records were identified. Of these, 125 reviews met the criteria for inclusion. A narrative synthesis of these findings highlighted three key domains of risks associated with ADHD: mental health, physical health, social and lifestyle. Most reviews were of good and moderate quality.DiscussionThis review highlights the many risks associated with having ADHD, beyond its three key symptom domains and the impact of the condition on daily functioning.RegistrationInternational Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO CRD42023404073).

“…Positive family processes have significance in the development of social contacts within and outside their families; they give importance to interactions, personal relationships, participation, and social events, among others. These social interactions enhance the confidence of individuals with norms of reliance and reciprocity, which also have significant impacts on the level of effectiveness of an individual's wellbeing (Huynh et al, 2022).…”

Family processes provide the fundamentals and play a critical role in flourishing an individual's performance, capabilities, interpersonal relationships, and assertiveness, among others. Family processes, which include functions, responsibilities, communication, and self-presentation, among others, make up the constructs needed to deal with critical circumstances. It develops an individual's abilities, self-confidence, and connectedness with all family members, especially the youngsters. Major biological, societal, and cognitive changes occur during the period between puberty and young adulthood, and such changes stimulate the most important shifts, especially psycho-social and physical capabilities, communal affiliation, and overall wellbeing. Young adults give importance to their health, social connections, ability to contribute, recognise themselves, grappling, mastering, and ability to shape their own destinations. Families put forth their best efforts, take initiatives towards the wellbeing of young adults, and try to provide and maintain a favourable environment. To examine the psycho-social impacts of family processes, primary data was collected through stratified linear systematic quota sampling and data analysed through SPSS 21, SmartPLS 3. Findings indicate that family processes have significant psycho-social impacts on the wellbeing of young adults. Individuals from supportive family processes have more confidence, cheerfulness, contentment, personal growth, satisfaction, healthy living, success in their work, and amalgamation, among others.

Genetics research has potential to alleviate the burden of mental disorders in low- and middle-income-countries through identification of new mechanistic pathways which can lead to efficacious drugs or new drug targets. However, there is currently limited genetics data from Africa. The Uganda Genome Resource provides opportunity for psychiatric genetics research among underrepresented people from Africa. We aimed at determining the prevalence and correlates of major depressive disorder (MDD), suicidality, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol abuse, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) and probable attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among participants of the Uganda Genome Resource. Standardised tools assessed for each mental disorder. Prevalence of each disorder was calculated with 95% confidence intervals. Multivariate logistic regression models evaluated the association between each mental disorder and associated demographic and clinical factors. Among 985 participants, prevalence of the disorders were: current MDD 19.3%, life-time MDD 23.3%, suicidality 10.6%, PTSD 3.1%, alcohol abuse 5.7%, GAD 12.9% and probable ADHD 9.2%. This is the first study to determine the prevalence of probable ADHD among adult Ugandans from a general population. We found significant association between sex and alcohol abuse (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.26 [0.14,0.45], p < 0.001) and GAD (AOR = 1.78 [1.09,2.49], p = 0.019) respectively. We also found significant association between body mass index and suicidality (AOR = 0.85 [0.73,0.99], p = 0.041), alcohol abuse (AOR = 0.86 [0.78,0.94], p = 0.003) and GAD (AOR = 0.93 [0.87,0.98], p = 0.008) respectively. We also found a significant association between high blood pressure and life-time MDD (AOR = 2.87 [1.08,7.66], p = 0.035) and probable ADHD (AOR = 1.99 [1.00,3.97], p = 0.050) respectively. We also found a statistically significant association between tobacco smoking and alcohol abuse (AOR = 3.2 [1.56,6.67], p = 0.002). We also found ever been married to be a risk factor for probable ADHD (AOR = 2.12 [0.88,5.14], p = 0.049). The Uganda Genome Resource presents opportunity for psychiatric genetics research among underrepresented people from Africa.
