HealthDay (4/8) reports that when investigators “used standardized scales to measure” attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) “symptoms, stress levels and resilience in 558 college students, they found that those who reported more symptoms also had more stress,” but “four benchmarks of resilience – social support, social skills, the perception of one’s ability to reach a goal, and planning and prioritizing – made a big difference.” The study revealed that “resilient students had less stress than their AD/HD symptoms would have otherwise predicted.” The findings were published online ahead of print April 6 in the Journal of College Counseling.
