“…Childhood Dissatisfaction: Childhood dissatisfaction was measured using the 9-item self-report Perceptions of Childhood Dissatisfaction Scale (PCD; Hojat, Borenstein, & Shapurian, 1990); (Rucklidge & Kaplan, 2000). Participants were asked to reflect back on their childhood and to indicate on a Likert scale from 1 ("strongly agree") to 7…”

“…Consistent findings include high rates of antisocial, major depressive, and anxiety disorders with similar levels of concurrent symptoms seen in children and Childhood Trauma and Adult ADHD 4 adolescents with the disorder (Biederman, Newcorn, & Sprich, 1991;Shekim et al, 1990), low self-esteem, self-loathing, and underachievement (Ratey, Greenberg, Bemporad, & Lindem, 1992). While it is fairly well established that adults identified with ADHD have many psychosocial and psychiatric problems as well as a more negative recall of their childhoods (Rucklidge & Kaplan, 2000), the assumption has been that these associated difficulties are likely directly related to the presence of ADHD. Another possible mechanism leading to psychosocial problems in adulthood may actually be the result of other factors, one being the presence of early childhood abuse.…”

Objective: Although studies have documented higher prevalence of abuse in children with ADHD, no studies have investigated childhood reports of abuse in individuals identified with ADHD in adulthood. Method: Forty ADHD women, 17 ADHD males, 17 female controls, and 40 male controls complete the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and other measures of psychosocial functioning. Results: Emotional abuse and neglect are more common among men and women with ADHD as compared to controls. Sexual abuse and physical neglect are more commonly reported by females with ADHD. Although childhood abuse is significantly correlated with depression and anxiety in adulthood, having ADHD is a better predictor of poorer psychosocial functioning in adulthood. Conclusion: Clinicians are alerted that patients with ADHD symptoms have a high probability of childhood abuse.

“…Comparing this cohort to a cohort identified with ADHD much later would enable us to determine if the early identification does indeed protect individuals from many of the devastating psychological effects of this disorder (Rucklidge and Kaplan, 2000). Regardless of future studies, these psychosocial problems point to alternative interventions beyond medication management.…”

“…Two approaches are discernible in the limited research on ADHD in females: 1) comparisons of females with and without ADHD (e.g., Castellanos et al, 2000;Faraone et al, 2000;Rucklidge and Kaplan, 2000;Seidman, et al, 1997), and 2) comparisons of ADHD females and ADHD males (e.g., Arcia and Conners, 1998;Carlson et al, 1997). Comparisons of females with and without ADHD show that ADHD females have significant impairment manifest by high risk for driving offenses and traffic accidents (Nada-Raja et al, 1997); poorer social skills, internalizing and externalizing behavior and more peer aggression ; and higher prevalence of substance abuse (Horner and Schiebe, 1997).…”

Objective: To characterize the psychiatric, psychosocial and cognitive functioning of adolescent ADHD females in comparison with female controls and ADHD males. Female controls were also compared to male controls to verify gender differences in a nonclinical sample.Methods: 107 adolescents from Southern Ontario aged 13 to 16 were included: 24 ADHD females, 35 ADHD males, 28 control females and 20 control males. All were assessed using semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and tests of achievement and intellectual functioning.Results: After controlling for parental education and estimated FSIQ, ADHD females were more impaired than control females in: depression, anxiety, distress, teacher relationships, stress, attributional styles, locus of control, and on all cognitive and achievement measures. ADHD females were more impaired than ADHD males in self-reported anxiety, distress, depression, locus of control, and vocabulary scores. These group differences were confirmed by higher ratings by parents and teachers in symptoms of psychopathology. ADHD males were more impaired in processing speed. Some gender differences (locus of control and vocabulary scores) were eliminated when controlling for ADHD severity. The absence of any differences between male and female controls indicates gender differences were specific to the clinical groups.Conclusion: ADHD females are at high risk for more psychological impairment than both ADHD males and control females. The identified psychosocial problems point to areas for intervention.

Cognitive Risks in Developmental Psychopathology

We review the dominant cognitive risks for several prevalent and impairing psychopathologies (depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorders, and schizophrenia). We focus on central mental processes , including attention, memory, and executive functioning, alongside core cognitive products , including attributions, attitudes, rumination, and reappraisal. There is considerable evidence that both products and processes are associated with several psychopathologies, although there are gaps in coverage. Studies that have spanned different developmental periods, from childhood into adolescence and adulthood, suggest that cognitive influences are related to psychopathologies across the life span. In many cases, longitudinal studies indicate that cognitive factors, especially products, predict prospective elevations of psychopathology. We discuss points that emerged from this review and present future research directions: (1) developmental issues; (2) the integration of cognitive products and processes within cognitive/affective neuroscience and genetics frameworks; (3) transdiagnostic versus disorder‐specific models of psychopathology; and (4) translational implications.
