Emotional Dysregulation as a Core Symptom of Adult ADHD
Emotional dysregulation is increasingly recognized as a core symptom of adult ADHD. Studies indicate that adults with ADHD experience greater emotionality and poor emotional regulation, especially women with ADHD. Emotional dysregulation is associated with sluggish cognitive tempo and substance abuse. Neurofunctional abnormalities related to emotional dysregulation in ADHD have been identified, suggesting that greater cognitive effort is required to manage emotional stress in individuals with ADHD.
