ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder has gained immense importance both among the clinicians and researchers because of its early onset, variable clinical presentations, and prominent heritability. Along with the established symptom clusters of attention deficit and hyperactivity, a load of comorbidities have been found hugely prevalent for this population, increasing the morbidity and distress level and turning the management more complex. The early childhood and adolescent onset of this externalizing behavior-based disorder also makes the individual more prone to other externalizing behavioral problems, like addiction to variable psychoactive substances. Adolescent, being a natural age towards risk taking and novelty seeking, addiction proneness itself is a major individual and public health challenge to which ADHD works as potential fuel. In recent times, the upsurge of various behavioral addictions has also been seen prominently in the ADHD population increasing the morbidity and complexity. Treatment options need to be researched in detail.

Background: Chronic diseases are known to have impact on quality of life of patients as of the acne. The DLQI (dermatology life quality index) is a scale to assess quality of life of the patients with skin disease. Objectives: The present study analyses the quality of life patients with acne attending OPD of skin department, SMS hospital. Methods: A questionnaire-based prospective study was conducted among 150 patients with acne referred from department of dermatology, SMS hospital. Results: The mean DLQL score was 7.28, the question about how embarrassed or self-conscious have you been because of skin had highest whereas the question about how much has your skin caused any sexual difficulties? had lowest scores. Conclusion: Acne has moderate effect of quality of life of the patients. There is need for psychological intervention to improve the quality of life of the patients. Keywords: Acne, dermatology life quality index, quality of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
