Stimulant and non-stimulant medications for ADHD may also help adults regulate unwanted emotional expression, according to a recent study.
“Undesirable emotional expression patterns are common in a range of mental health conditions identified in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual classifications of disorders,” the researchers wrote. “However, evidence suggests that impaired emotional regulation may be integral to some versions of ADHD.”
Researchers also compared changes in emotional behavior to changes in ADHD symptom ratings such as inattention and impulsivity/hyperactivity. Treatment effects ranged from 46% to 110% for methylphenidate, 56% to 129% for atomoxetine, and 36% to 96% for“These findings suggest these treatments can have favorable effects on patterns of emotional expression, and that these effects are measurable using available rating scales.
The current study included trials with systematic, validated measures conducted under controlled conditions and with treatment interventions that were replicated in another study. Emotional behavior measures included ratings from interviewing clinicians, observers, and self-reports. Though not comparable to the current study, a review of behavioral therapies found cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness interventions also had a positive impact on emotional control in unmedicated adults.Surman, C.
