HealthDay (8/30, Mann) reports, “Fully half of all young adults with” attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) “may also battle alcohol or drug abuse,” and people with AD/HD “who have a history of depression or anxiety are particularly vulnerable to substance abuse problems,” investigators found in a study that “included close to 6,900 Canadians aged 20 to 39 with and without” AD/HD. The findings were published online Aug. 3 in the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism.
