Research shows that aggression is an important associated feature of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and is important in understanding the impact of the disorder and its treatment. The occurrence of aggressive behavior in combination with ADHD does not appear to be spurious and the severity and/or presence of aggression and ADHD may significantly impact long-term prognosis. This article defines subtypes of aggression in relation to ADHD, identifies individual differences contributing to aggressive behavior in children with ADHD and discusses selected possible underlying mechanisms of aggression in ADHD, as well as current and emerging treatment approaches. Although aggressive behavior in children with ADHD is common, the reasons for this are not yet well understood. Multidisciplinary research should focus on investigating underlying mechanisms related to aggression in ADHD, as well as the utility of various treatment modalities.
研究表明，攻击性是注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）的一个重要相关特征，对于理解该障碍及其治疗的影响非常重要。攻击性与 ADHD 同时出现似乎并非偶然，攻击性的严重程度和/或存在以及 ADHD 可能会显著影响长期预后。本文定义了与 ADHD 相关的攻击性亚型，确定了导致 ADHD 儿童攻击性行为的个体差异，并讨论了 ADHD 中攻击性的一些潜在机制以及当前和新兴的治疗方法。尽管 ADHD 儿童的攻击行为很常见，但原因尚不清楚。多学科研究应重点调查与 ADHD 相关的攻击性的潜在机制，以及各种治疗方式的效用。
