“…Case reports of ADHD treatment with psychostimulants suggest they can also act on comorbid disorders with impulsive features (kleptomania, pathological gambling and bulimia nervosa) 3. Erdogan et al4 reported that SPD patients had a high prevalence of comorbid ADHD, but this has not been investigated in other studies. The only case report of ADHD comorbid with SPD, by Lane et al,1 described a 9-year-old boy with a full-scale IQ of 77 who only experienced improvement when a behavioral intervention was associated with ongoing psychostimulant treatment.…”

“…Many studies have cited problems at school and the absence of love relationships and friendships among patients suffering from acne vulgaris. Other studies have shown that acne vulgaris is associated with diverse conditions like insomnia and attention deficit hyperactivity disease [ 8 , 9 ]. Furthermore, many reports have also revealed that lesions of acne vulgaris present harmful effects on people’s psychiatric well-being and quality of life and may be linked to depression, increasing social isolation, loss of self-esteem, anxiety, and suicide [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Acne vulgaris usually affects the dermal layer of the skin and is revealed frequently in young adulthood and adolescence. It has serious psychosocial comorbidities. We conducted the present systematic review and meta-analysis to elucidate the association of acne vulgaris with psychiatric comorbidities and quality of life as well as the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) level. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the published articles were carried out following the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. We investigated diverse databases: Web of Science, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL to search for articles reporting the prevalence of psychosocial comorbidities among patients with acne vulgaris from database inception through June 2022. The outcomes were depression, anxiety, symptom checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), quality of life, self-esteem, stress, loneliness, and BDNF concentrations. Of 3647 articles identified, 23 met the inclusion criteria. Patients with acne vulgaris have a significantly higher level of anxiety, depression, and stress (P<0.05). Yet, the reported findings of the SCL-90-R, self-esteem, loneliness, and BDNF scores among patients suffering from acne vulgaris were variable and did not differ significantly compared to healthy participants (P>0.05), hampering any conclusive findings on absolute prevalence. Subgroup analysis and comparison showed that heterogeneity between studies was likely due to factors, including country, study design, and assessment tools. This comprehensive review and meta-analysis revealed that anxiety, depression, and stress are significantly more frequent among patients suffering from acne vulgaris. These findings confirm that acne vulgaris has both psychiatric and medical characteristics and requires a multidisciplinary approach.

“…No studies were found which were conducted comparatively with a control group. In a study by Erdogan et al (7), 68 children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD were evaluated in terms of cutaneous findings. In dermatological examination, at least one cutaneous finding was determined in 88.2% of the cases.…”

“…Studies and case reports have reported that dermatological diseases such as atopic dermatitis and acne and cutaneous findings called skin picking symptoms are more common in children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD (4)(5)(6). However, only one study has been found in literature investigating cutaneous findings in ADHD (7). The aim of the present study is to assess cutaneous findings in children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and to compare the incidence of these findings with healthy controls.…”

Background/Aim: Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most frequently diagnosed psychiatric disorder in children. Only one study was found in literature which examined cutaneous findings in ADHD so far. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the cutaneous findings of children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and to compare the incidence of these findings with healthy controls. Methods: Forty-six patients diagnosed with ADHD according to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fifth edition (DSM-V) criteria and 50 healthy controls with no ADHD symptoms who had similar characteristics to the patient group in terms of sociodemographic characteristics such as age and gender were included in the study. All the patients underwent whole body dermatological examination and pathological findings in the skin, hairy skin and nails in the patient and control group were recorded. Results: The most common finding in the patient group was found as onychophagy and/or periungual skin biting with a rate of 76.1%. In addition, statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of xerosis, prurigo and allergy history. Conclusions: It is important to be careful in terms of cutaneous findings that may accompany ADHD in terms of both early treatment and also for preventing possible complications. In addition, determination of these findings will guide future studies in terms of identifying the common aetiology of ADHD and some cutaneous diseases. What's already known about this topic?-ADHD is one of the most frequent developmental disorders of the childhood.-Studies and case reports have reported that dermatological diseases such as atopic dermatitis and acne and cutaneous findings called skin picking symptoms are more common in children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. What does this article add?-The most common finding in the patient group was found as onychophagy and/or periungual skin biting with a rate of 76.1%.-In addition, statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of xerosis, prurigo and allergy history.
