I recently came across an article by Dr. Peter Jaksa on the ADDitude site, The ADHD & Addiction Link: Addictive Behaviors in Adults Explained. The article unravels the intricate connection between ADHD and addictive behaviours in adults. This captivating article unveils the often-overlooked struggles many adults experiencing ADHD face, delving into various forms of addiction, from substances to behaviours and even food.

Dr. Jaksa opens the door to a realm where managing ADHD intersects with the challenges of addictive behaviours.

Dr. Nelson M. Handal's impactful article, a top pick on ADDitude in 2023, “How Undiagnosed ADHD Triggers Depression and Anxiety," delves into the alarming connection between ADHD, depression, and anxiety in adults. Revealing staggering statistics—18% of adults with ADHD also grapple with major depressive disorder, while half face anxiety—Dr. Handal emphasizes a crucial point: ADHD's impact amplifies when undiagnosed or untreated. The emotional toll of undiagnosed ADHD is explored, showcasing how symptoms, from impulsivity to poor planning, create a cycle of inadequacy and failure. Anger, resentment, and worthlessness become emotional baggage, laying the foundation for the onset of depression and anxiety.

An article from the Sleep Foundation discusses the link between ADHD and sleep. Sleep problems are prevalent in 25-50% of individuals with ADHD, with issues ranging from insomnia to secondary sleep conditions. Recognizing the connection between ADHD and sleep is crucial for managing symptoms and enhancing the quality of life.

Individuals with ADHD are more prone to sleep problems, beginning around puberty and continuing into adulthood.

Sleep problems vary based on ADHD type, with inattentive types having later bedtimes, hyperactive-impulsive types experiencing insomnia, and combined types facing both issues.

Many ADHD symptoms mirror those of sleep deprivation, leading to potential misdiagnoses. Screening for sleep problems before prescribing ADHD medication is recommended.
