These findings reiterate the importance of diagnosing ADHD in girls early to better recognize and treat comorbidities, and implement interventions with life-long benefits.
A regression analysis revealed that the relationship between ADHD and NSSI was mediated fully by the symptoms of the ADHD comorbidities. Significant risk factors for NSSI in patients with ADHD in both sexes were affective disorders, suicidality, and psychotic disorders. Comorbid alcohol abuse was a risk factor for girls only. Researchers found no evidence of a direct causal relationship between ADHD and NSSI.
The study was limited by sample size and by the incidence of comorbidities and additional research with larger sample sizes is necessary. However, these findings reiterate the importance of early to better recognize and treat comorbidities, and implement interventions with life-long benefits.
