To examine the rates of psychiatric comorbidities within a New Zealand sample of adults with ADHD compared with a community control group.
We merged six data sets to obtain a sample of 222 adults (158 ADHD, 64 controls). Comorbidities were assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed. text rev. [DSM-IV-TR]) Axis-I disorders.
Both groups were equivalent in IQ, socioeconomic status, gender, education, income levels, and age. Lifetime rates of psychiatric disorders were significantly higher in the ADHD group (83%) versus the control group (52%) with higher rates of major depressive disorder (MDD; 65% vs. 36%), social phobia (31% vs. 11%), substance abuse (26% vs. 8%), and alcohol abuse (32% vs. 14%). Within the ADHD group, other than a group difference in specific phobias, there were no gender differences.
The findings are consistent with international research; adults with ADHD in New Zealand have higher rates of psychiatric disorders than the general population.
比较新西兰成人注意缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)样本与社区对照组中精神疾病共病的发生率。
我们合并了六个数据集,以获得一个包含222名成年人的样本(158名ADHD患者,64名对照)。使用《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》(第4版,修订本[DSM-IV-TR])轴I障碍的结构化临床访谈来评估共病情况。
两组在智商、社会经济地位、性别、教育程度、收入水平和年龄方面相当。ADHD组的终生精神疾病发生率(83%)显著高于对照组(52%),其中重度抑郁症(MDD;65%对36%)、社交恐惧症(31%对11%)、物质滥用(26%对8%)和酒精滥用(32%对14%)的发生率更高。在ADHD组中,除了特定恐惧症存在组间差异外,不存在性别差异。
研究结果与国际研究一致;新西兰患有ADHD的成年人比普通人群有更高的精神疾病发生率。
