“…Consistent with previous findings [41], youth with CTD alone had significantly higher self-concept relative to youth with comorbid OCD and/or ADHD + OCD, suggesting that the presence of obsessive–compulsive symptoms may contribute to greater deficits in psychosocial adaptation, as these individuals are often perfectionistic and preoccupied with their own deficits. Contrary to existing literature suggesting that youth with ADHD are significantly more at-risk for deficits in self-concept [27–31], a significant difference in self-concept between youth with CTD-only and CTD + ADHD was not observed in this sample. This discrepancy may be explained by the presence of a positive illusory bias , or an inflated self-perception, exhibited by some youth with comorbid ADHD, which has been identified in previous samples [34–36].…”

This study investigated the clinical correlates and mediators of self-concept in youth with Chronic Tic Disorders (CTD). Ninety-seven youth aged 6–17 (M = 11.1 ± 2.89; 79.4 % male) with CTD were administered the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale, the Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale—Second Edition, and self-report and clinician-administered measures assessing behavioral and psychological difficulties and comorbid conditions. Youth with CTD had a slightly below average level of self-concept, with 20 % (n = 19) exhibiting low self-concept. Youth with CTD-only had greater self-concept relative to youth with CTD and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) (p = 0.04) or CTD, OCD, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) combined (p = 0.009). Medium-to-large-sized associations were observed between youth’s self-concept and clinical characteristics (e.g., severity of ADHD, OCD and depressive symptoms). Youth’s self-concept partially mediated the relationship between tic severity and depressive symptom severity, and the interaction between tic impairment and youth’s reliance on avoidant coping strategies moderated youth’s self-concept. Implications, limitations, and recommendations for future interventions are discussed.

“…With regard to the Self-Concept subscale, it is reasonable to assume that the frequency in which individuals are ‘unsure of themselves', ‘get down on themselves' and ‘lack belief in their abilities' is not only influenced by the challenges adults with ADHD experience in a variety of life domains (such as academic problems, occupational attainment, marital difficulties, and interpersonal problems) but also by the level of depression and other psychopathology. Also in children and adolescents with ADHD, more problems with self-concept were correlated with more internalizing problems [47]. …”

Objective: Previous research shows an association between obesity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The present study compares pre- and post-bariatric surgery patients using the internationally used Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS™) to screen for ADHD. Methods: Matched samples pre- (N = 120) and post-bariatric surgery (N = 128) were compared using self-rating instruments to assess ADHD-relevant symptomatology, depression, eating-related psychopathology, and BMI. Results: Prevalence of probable ADHD did not differ between groups using the CAARS Index Scale T-scores; however, CAARS subscales Inattention/Memory and Self-Concept showed significantly lower scores in post-surgery patients. All CAARS subscales correlated significantly with each other, with depression and eating-related psychopathology. There was no correlation between ADHD and excess BMI loss in post-surgery patients. Conclusion: The findings suggest that a considerable number of patients before and after bariatric surgery screened positive for ADHD. It can be hypothesized that some core ADHD symptoms improve after surgery. Future studies are warranted to investigate the influence of ADHD on long-term surgery outcomes.

“…Shared cognitive deficits for both ADHD and dyslexia include weaknesses on measures of phoneme awareness, verbal reasoning, and working memory (Willcutt et al 2010). Patients with ADHD and those with dyslexia report lower life performance and an impaired selfconcept (Smith-Spark et al 2004;Houck et al 2011;Ridley 2011;Brod et al 2012). It has been suggested that attention difficulties associated with ADHD may be a causal factor for reading difficulties in some patients with dyslexia (Shaywitz and Shaywitz 2008).…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate atomoxetine treatment effects in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-only), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder with comorbid dyslexia (ADHD + D), or dyslexia only on ADHD core symptoms and on sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), working memory, life performance, and self-concept. Methods: Children and adolescents (10-16 years of age) with ADHD + D (n = 124), dyslexia-only (n = 58), or ADHDonly (n = 27) received atomoxetine (1.0-1.4 mg/kg/day) or placebo (ADHD-only subjects received atomoxetine) in a 16 week, acute, randomized, double-blind trial with a 16 week, open-label extension phase (atomoxetine treatment only).
