Sex Differences in Substance Use, Prevalence, Pharmacological Therapy, and Mental Health in Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Abstract: Sex differences are poorly studied within the field of mental health, even though there is evidence of disparities (with respect to brain anatomy, activation patterns, and neurochemistry, etc.) that can significantly influence the etiology and course of mental disorders. The objective of this work was to review sex differences in adolescents (aged 13–18 years) diagnosed with ADHD (according to the DSM-IV, DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 criteria) in terms of substance use disorder (SUD), prevalence, pharmacological therap… Show more

“…NeuroWorld DTx is also expected to play a role in reducing drug dependency [ 50 , 51 ]. According to previous studies, in the case of ADHD, there is a higher risk of comorbidity in girls, as compared with boys, diagnosed with ADHD depending on the environment [ 52 ]. Owing to the nature of psychiatric research on children and adolescents, it is difficult to obtain a sample of study participants, and it is known that the prevalence of ADHD in boys is more than twice that in girls; thus, the number of actual hospital visits is considerably lower for girls than for boys.…”

“…ADHD is a childhood neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. The prevalence of ADHD in the pediatric population ranges from 5 to 10% ( Castellano-García and Benito, 2022 ). Primarily instigated by genetic factors, the heritability of this condition reaches an estimable 74% ( Faraone and Larsson, 2019 ).…”

“…Despite these recommendations, sex differences are poorly studied within the field of mental health, even though there is evidence of disparities (with respect to brain anatomy, activation patterns, and neurochemistry, etc.) that can significantly influence the aetiology and course of mental disorders [ 6 ]. The same occurs in the study of addictions and dual diagnosis, where research continues to be carried out mainly in male patients [ 1 ].…”

“…Therefore, this Special Issue aims to update our knowledge of the sexual and gender differences found in research into addictions and dual diagnosis. Thus, the articles included in this special issue cover both issues related to gender [ 1 , 7 ] and sex [ 6 , 8 , 9 ], patients using various substances [ 1 , 6 , 7 ] or others with specific substance use disorders (SUDs) [ 8 , 9 ], and including both issues related to addictions [ 9 ] and dual diagnosis [ 1 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”
