“…CBT also incorporates cognitive modification strategies that assist the patient in identifying automatic thoughts, recognizing the ensuing feelings and behaviors that lead to maladaptive responses, and in reframing and problem solving to devise and implement more adaptive behaviors. Several studies have shown the efficacy of CBT in improving ADHD symptoms [89][90][91][92], organizational skills [91], depression and anxiety [89] in patients with ADHD. Research is needed to determine whether the incorporation of CBT strategies for ADHD into a behavioral weight loss program would improve both ADHD symptoms and weight loss.…”

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been associated with increased risk for obesity and obesity treatment failure. The present paper discusses how features of ADHD, including inattention, reward sensitivity, and impulsivity, may impact obesity risk and have implications for the management of obesity. In addition, we review emerging research on how obesity may contribute to brain changes that are associated with ADHD-like symptoms. Finally, suggestions for improving the clinical management of obesity in patients with ADHD are discussed, including pharmacological treatment, exercise, and cognitive behavior therapy. ADHD is a barrier to the clinical management of obesity and more research is needed to further understand the link between ADHD and obesity. Effective treatment approaches are needed given the significant difficulty patients with ADHD encounter in their attempts to regulate their weight in the context of an obesogenic environment.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is characterized by the inability to appropriately modulate attention and/or impulse control and hyperactivity, resulting in social, academic and occupational underachievement, is presently the topic of intensive discussion in German psychiatry. With a prevalence of 3-5%, ADHD is one of the most frequently seen disorders in child and adolescent psychiatry. With nearly 50% of childhood patients also affected during adulthood, this disorder is of much higher clinical significance for psychiatry than presumed thus far. The present review discusses current results of epidemiology, etiology, clinical symptoms and comorbidity, diagnostic assessment, pharmacotherapy, and psychological interventions for adults with ADHD.

“…Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a modern, structured, and goal-oriented therapeutic method whose efficacy has been proved successful on a number of psychological disorders such as borderline personality disorders, eating disorders [17], abuse substance [18], adolescents with ADHD [19], depression [20], and pervasive development disorders [21]. Currently, DBT has been used in physiologicalpsychological illnesses and shown hopeful results [22].…”
