According to HealthDay (11/24), adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) may be “four times more likely to have” generalized “anxiety disorder,” researchers concluded after examining data from “a nationally representative sample of nearly 6,900 respondents from the Canadian Community Health Survey-Mental Health,” including 272 people with AD/HD “and 682 who had generalized anxiety disorder.” The study also revealed the “connection was even more significant for women, who had five times higher odds of anxiety disorder if they had” AD/HD. The findings were published online Nov. 16 in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
