“…This is despite the high prevalence of anxiety disorders in ADHD (approximately 50% of children with ADHD have a comorbid anxiety disorder) and the known association between anxiety symptoms and social impairment (Bishop et al, 2019). Research examining the prevalence of social anxiety disorder (SAD) in ADHD suggests that around 38% of children and adolescents with ADHD have a comorbid diagnosis, with higher rates of SAD seen in children with inattentive symptoms (Çelebi & Ünal, 2021); therefore, the impact of anxiety symptoms needs to be considered when attempting to understand and characterize the social difficulties experienced by adolescents with ADHD.…”

Background Many interventions have been developed to address the social difficulties commonly experienced by adolescents with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), yet they are largely ineffective. Objective This study examined social impairment among adolescents with and without ADHD, determining whether gender, social anxiety, age, and ADHD symptom type (inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity) and severity are associated with social impairment. Method Parents and primary caregivers of adolescents (aged 13–17) with (n = 76) and without ADHD (n = 36) completed the Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD and Normal Behavior, Social Responsiveness Scale 2nd Edition, and Spence Children's Anxiety Scale. Results Adolescents with ADHD scored significantly higher than TD adolescents across social impairment domains. ADHD symptoms were associated with severity of impairment in all domains excluding Social Motivation. Hyperactivity/impulsivity and social anxiety predicted social impairment, whereas gender did not. Conclusion Adolescents with ADHD are more likely to experience social impairment than TD adolescents, and interventions targeting symptom reduction and social anxiety may improve these social impairments.

“…Compared to their normal classmates, students with specific learning disabilities often get lower grades and are usually not given enough attention by their teachers and are rejected by their friends and peers; Therefore, this finding can be explained in this way that the repeated experience of the mentioned problems and their internalization creates a series of negative, resistant and recurring thoughts, around the axis that "I am a disabled person" in these students and reduces their ability to Using effective problem solving strategies reduces [20]. Another study focused on self-esteem and clinical characteristics in children with ADHD and social anxiety disorder (SAD) and found that children with ADHD and SAD had lower self-esteem compared to children without SAD [21]. This shows that the association of ADHD with other mental illnesses can have a greater impact on self-esteem.…”

Background Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common disorders in school-aged children. Learning disorder (LD) is also one of the most important psychiatric disorders in children, which can often be associated with ADHD. In this study, we sought to compare self-esteem and quality of life in 8 to 12-year-old children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder with and without co-occurring learning disorders in order to emphasize the importance of attention and diagnosis in children with ADHD. Method Among the 8- to 12-year-old outpatients referred to the child and adolescent psychiatry clinic of Omid Babol Clinic, 120 children aged 8 to 12 years with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder whose disease was diagnosed by a child and adolescent psychiatry subspecialist. Among the tools used to collect information was the Colorado Learning Difficulties Questionnaire by Wilcott et al. (CLDQ), five-scale self-esteem test of Pepe et al. (1989) for children and quality-of-life questionnaire for 8–12-year-old children (PedsQL). Results This study investigated self-esteem and quality of life in children with ADHD (n = 120, 51.7% boys). Children with ADHD and learning disabilities reported significantly lower self-esteem and quality of life compared to those with ADHD alone. Conclusion Considering the relatively high probability of co-occurrence of ADHD and learning disorders, if one of them is diagnosed in a child, it is possible to look for other disorders in the child in order to avoid the more severe negative effects that this co-occurrence can have on the child by diagnosing it as soon as possible.

“…The most common co-occurring psychiatric disorders in adult ADHD are depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, and personality disorders ( Katzman et al, 2017 ). Beyond these symptoms and challenges, ADHD is associated with impaired self-esteem in both childhood and adulthood ( Çelebi & Ünal, 2021 ; Cook et al, 2014 ; Kooij et al, 2010 ). The interplay between ADHD and self-esteem is complex, and stigma toward individuals with ADHD may add to the burden of the disorder ( Halleröd et al, 2015 ).…”

Objective: To summarize and analyze recent articles investigating self-esteem in adults with ADHD, focusing on the impact of demographic and clinical characteristics, and methodological issues. Method: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search for literature published between 2010 and 2022 was conducted in the Web of Science, Ovid, Pubmed, and EBSCO databases. Results: Eleven studies met inclusion criteria. Five of the six studies including healthy controls reported lower self-esteem in participants with ADHD. ADHD symptoms correlated negatively with self-esteem. Gender differences were not observed. Self-esteem mediated several outcomes associated with ADHD. There was a lack of studies that examined potential mechanisms behind the reduced self-esteem, and studies controlling for confounding variables. Conclusion: A robust association between ADHD and low self-esteem in adults emerged, but the lack of control of confounding variables is critical to consider when interpreting the findings. Longitudinal studies addressing the limitations of the current studies are needed.
