ADHD and CDS in adolescents and young adults: detection, stability and implications
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and, as such, is assumed to have a certain degree of chronicity across the lifespan, regardless of the possible success of its treatment. Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS), a transdiagnostic dimension closely related to inattention in ADHD, although not yet clearly considered a neurodevelopmental disorder, has also shown notable stability during childhood.
In both ADHD and CDS, research in child populations is extensive, although most studies have primarily relied on external informants, especially parents. This symposium will present data obtained through self-reports from adolescents and young adults, with and without ADHD, which will allow for the analysis of the evolution, detection, and functional implications of ADHD and CDS during this developmental stage.
The availability of screening instruments developed in Spain, based on large representative samples, together with the analysis of their associations with sociodemographic and psychopathological variables, makes it possible to address a significant gap in the study of these age groups (14–29 years), which are insufficiently covered even at the international level, especially through self-reported and longitudinal data, such as those that will be presented in most of the symposium’s presentations.
