ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate suicidal ideation (SI) in patients with adult ADHD (aADHD), and its association with gender and psychopathology.METHODS:
Case-control study with 206 participants (patientsâ¯=â¯103/healthy controlsâ¯=â¯103; matched on gender, age, and education). SI was assessed by the Beck-I Depression-Inventory. The Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS) was used to characterize the ADHD symptom-domains.RESULTS:
Compared to controls, the likelihood of SI was significantly higher in females with ADHD (odds ratio[OR]â¯=â¯25.0 (95%CI2.98-200.0); the difference was not significant in males (ORâ¯=â¯2.09 (95%CI0.75-5.81). In females, "Problems with Self-Concept" scores on the CAARS showed the closest association with SI (ORâ¯=â¯5.60,95%CI2.34-13.41]), while in males it was "Impulsivity" scores (ORâ¯=â¯3.01,95%CI1.50-6.06).CONCLUSION:
Our findings extend previously described transdiagnostic associations of specific psychopathological risk factors to aADHD, including problems with self-concept and impulsivity, which are robustly associated with suicidality across diagnostic boundaries. In addition, they indicate that these associations exhibit pronounced gender-specificity in aADHD.
