Aetiological overlap between anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity symptom dimensions in adolescence

摘要

BackgroundAnxiety and attention-deficit/hyperactivity (ADH) problems are common in adolescence, often co-occur, and are characterised by high heterogeneity in their phenotypic expressions. Although it is known that anxiety and ADH problems correlate, the relationships between subtypes of anxiety and ADH problems have been scarcely investigated.
