Deep dives
Paper 1: Risk Factors in Newly Diagnosed ADHD Adults
A retrospective case study analyzed US health data to identify risk factors in adults newly diagnosed with ADHD. The study utilized a large database and focused on demographics, physical and psychological diagnoses, and treatments received. Findings showed a majority of females in both cohorts, high prevalence of anxiety disorders, and significant healthcare resource utilization by the ADHD group.
Paper 1: Pharma Treatments & Diagnosis Correlations
Data revealed significant antidepressant use in the ADHD cohort, potentially due to misattribution of executive functioning challenges to depression. The study highlighted the importance of correlating certain comorbidities with healthcare resource utilization to flag potential ADHD cases for earlier assessments.
Paper 2: Trends in Multimodal ADHD Treatments
A five-year study analyzed multimodal treatment trends for US adults with ADHD, emphasizing the effectiveness of combined therapies. The research aimed to understand if individuals were receiving adequate multimodal treatment and examined treatment types across demographics for significant insights.
Paper 2: Treatment Type Disparities & Limitations
Key findings revealed that a quarter of diagnosed individuals received no treatment for ADHD, while only a minority experienced the gold standard of multimodal treatment. Limitations included reliance on health insurance data, potentially excluding uninsured or marginalized populations, highlighting the need for accessible and comprehensive ADHD support systems.
