ADHD traits are linked to more severe anxiety and depression symptoms in adults than are traits of autism spectrum disorder, according to a new U.K. study that underscores the importance of screening of ADHD comorbidities.
Researchers aimed to clarify the associations between self-reported ASD traits and
with mental health conditions like anxiety and depression using a general population sample, which included 504 adults from the U.K. aged 18–79 years., ADHD was a stronger statistical predictor of both mental-health conditions than was ASD. Further analysis confirmed that ADHD traits were associated with more severe anxiety and depression symptoms in adults than were ASD traits.
Researchers “speculate that response inhibition difficulties, which appear to be a cognitive feature of ADHD, may also potentially underpin the stronger association between ADHD traits and internalizing problems.” To the researchers’ knowledge, this is the first study showing ADHD more strongly predicts mental health outcomes in adults than do other neurodevelopmental conditions, like ASD.
“Our finding that ADHD traits dominated ASD traits in predicting internalizing disorder symptoms could inform strategies to identify individuals who are at an increased risk of internalizing problems,” researchers said. “This might allow preventative measures and interventions to be implemented at an earlier age, which, for example, could focus on managingfor a greater impact on ameliorating internalizing problems and improving mental wellbeing in adults.
