“…Dysregulation of reward system is a possible neuropathological finding linking ADHD and gambling disorder (Chau et al 2004). Impaired response to reward cues that may reflect dysfunctional mesolimbic and mesocortical dopaminergic pathways (Sagvolden et al 2005) may theoretically disable gating and/or maintenance of information learned from prior mistakes to working memory and lead to poor decision-making (Abouzari et al 2015). Genetic studies suggest that carriers of dopamine D2 receptor A1 allele, which may relate to the gene encoding the dopamine D2 receptor or reflect variations linked to the ANKK1 gene, may have a higher risk of developing addictive behaviors such as gambling disorder as well as ADHD (Blum et al 2000).…”

We aimed to conduct a systematic review to examine the rates of comorbid Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and various behavioral addictions, including gambling disorder, food addiction/binge-eating disorder, sex addiction/hypersexuality disorder, Internet addiction/Internet gaming disorder, compulsive buying disorder, and exercise addiction. PubMed and Web of Science were searched for articles published before December, 2015. Exclusion criteria were studies with either behavioral addictions or ADHD only, but not both; review articles, case reports, case series, book chapters, and letters to the editor. Studies not using standardized diagnostic criteria for ADHD, gambling disorder, or binge-eating disorder were also excluded. Of the 3126 citations found, 14 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Five reported results for rates of comorbid ADHD and gambling disorder, three for those of ADHD and binge-eating disorder, two for those of ADHD and sex addiction, and four for those of ADHD and Internet addiction. No studies were found to report rates of comorbid ADHD and compulsive buying disorder or exercise addiction. The prevalence of comorbid ADHD in individuals with behavioral addictions ranged from 5.8 % to 88.3 %. The prevalence of comorbid behavioral addictions in those with ADHD ranged from 5.9 % to 71.8 %. This systematic review revealed a high degree of co-occurrence of ADHD and behavioral addictions. The findings of this review shed light on the need to explore the links between ADHD and behavioral addictions and their implications for treatment.

“…For example, ADHD has been associated with poor performance on the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) in children/adolescents (Garon, Moore, & Waschbusch, 2006; Hobson, Scott, & Rubia, 2011; Masunami, Okazaki, & Maekawa, 2009; Miller, Sheridan, Cardoos, & Hinshaw, 2013; Toplak, Jain, & Tannock, 2005) and adults (Abouzari, Oberg, Gruber, & Tata, 2015; Malloy-Diniz, Fuentes, Leite, Correa, & Bechara, 2007). However, there are data to suggest that deficits in adults with ADHD may be more indicative of co-morbid problematic gambling (Abouzari et al, 2015; Abouzari, Oberg, & Tata, 2016). While experimental studies evaluating the effect of amphetamine or other stimulants on IGT performance among patients with ADHD are lacking, there is, however, some evidence suggesting that IGT deficits are absent in adults with ADHD who are medicated (Abouzari et al, 2015).…”

“…Participants with a lower IQ have more problems with performing the task but are not specifically more sensitive to punishment than reward. Additionally, with the PRL one can investigate how well people can adapt to a changing rule, which may be difficult for subjects with ADHD [2]. Although this is the first study of causal analysis with ADHD and PRL performance, it shows promising possibilities for future research.…”

Causal discovery is an increasingly important method for data analysis in the field of medical research. In this paper, we consider two challenges in causal discovery that occur very often when working with medical data: a mixture of discrete and continuous variables and a substantial amount of missing values. To the best of our knowledge, there are no methods that can handle both challenges at the same time. In this paper, we develop a new method that can handle these challenges based on the assumption that data are missing at random and that continuous variables obey a non-paranormal distribution. We demonstrate the validity of our approach for causal discovery on simulated data as well as on two real-world data sets from a monetary incentive delay task and a reversal learning task. Our results help in the understanding of the etiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s41060-016-0034-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
