PurposeAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been shown to be related to a higher risk of developing psychiatric problems such as depressive disorders, substance use disorder, and impulsivity. Adults who have comorbid ADHD and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are at greater risk of negative outcomes. Thus, it is important to evaluate the relationship of ADHD symptoms and the severity of alcohol-related problems among patients with AUD. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ADHD symptoms on severity of alcohol-related problems, while controlling the effects of depression and impulsivity in a sample of inpatients with AUD.Patients and methodsParticipants (n=190) were evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory, the Short Form Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test, and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale.ResultsSeverity of the scale scores was positively correlated with each other. Although severity of depression and impulsivity (particularly non-planning impulsivity) predicted the severity of alcohol-related problems in a linear regression model, when severity of ADHD symptoms was included in the analysis, the inattentive subscale score, in particular, predicted the severity of alcohol-related problems together with non-planning impulsivity, whereas depression was no longer a predictor.ConclusionThese findings suggest that, together with non-planning impulsivity, symptoms of ADHD (particularly inattentive factor) are an important factor that predict alcohol-related problems, while controlling the severity of depressive symptoms among inpatients with AUD.

“…Thus, actually we evaluated the probable ADHD rather than the diagnosis of ADHD, and it is suggested that the severity of ADHD symptoms may change according to the sample, the scale that is used to measure ADHD symptoms, and design of the study [75]. Although currently Turkish versions of structured and semi-structured clinical interviews are introduced for adults, they are not validated in populations with SUD, whereas ASRS was validated in these populations, including the Turkish version [54,55]. Third, female patients may have a different profile concerning psychopathology, BPD, NS and ADHD.…”

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of probable attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with novelty seeking (NS), the severity of psychopathology and borderline personality disorder (BPD) in a sample of male patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). METHODS: Participants included 229 patients with OUD. Participants were evaluated with the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1), the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and NS subscale of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). In addition, BPD was assessed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R-Personality Disorders (SCID-II). RESULTS: Age, duration of education, marital and employment status did not differ between those with probable ADHD (n = 54, 23.1%) and those without (n = 175, 76.9%). The severity of psychopathology, NS and subdimensions (other than NS1, which was lower) were higher among those with the probable ADHD. ADHD scores were midly correlated with NS scores, other than NS1. In logistic regression analyses, the severity of NS, particularly Impulsiveness (NS2), together with general psychopathology, predicted probable ADHD, whereas the presence of BPD had no effect. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that trait impulsivity, together with the severity of psychopathology, is related with the probable ADHD, while the presence of BPD has no effect among adult patients with OUD.

“…The Turkish version of ASRS has demonstrated good reliability and validity in university students [92]. Also, in a sample of patients with AUD, psychometric characteristics of Turkish version have been analysed by Evren et al [93], in which satisfactory properties have been found. Cronbach's alpha was 0.85 for IN, 081for HI and 0.89 for ASRS in the present study.…”

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of borderline personality features (BPFs) with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms among male patients with substance use disorder (SUD) and to evaluate the impact of emotion dysregulation on this relationship. We also wanted to control the effects of depression and state anxiety. METHOD: Participants included 305 treatment-seeking male patients with SUD. Participants were evaluated by applying the Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI), the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). RESULTS: Age, duration of education, marital status, employment status, age at first and age at regular substance use did not differ between those with probable borderline personality disorder (BPD) (n = 155, 50.8%) and those without probable BPD (n = 150, 49.2%). Probable ADHD risk was 3.5 times higher among those with probable BPD. Also ADHD, DERS, depression and anxiety scores were higher in this group with probable BPD. Scale scores were mild and moderately correlated with each other. In hierarchical regression analysis severity of ADHD symptoms (particularly hyperactivity/impulsivity [HI] dimension), together with difficulties in emotion regulation (particularly impulse control difficulties), depression and trait anxiety predicted the severity of BPFs. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the severity of HI symptoms of ADHD is related with the BPFs, while difficulties in emotion regulation, particularly impulse control difficulties, partially mediate this relationship among patients with SUD.
