Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an independent risk factor for the gradual development of substance use disorders (SUD) in adolescence and adulthood. High rates of ADHD are found in people diagnosed with SUD, who consume different classes of substances, including opioids, alcohol, cannabis, stimulants and nicotine. Thus, prospective longitudinal studies suggest that the diagnosis of ADHD in childhood or adolescence increases the risk of SUD later in adult life. Substance abuse may modify the symptoms, rapidity of progression, response to treatment, and long-term outcome of ADHD. Similarly, ADHD may modify the course of the SUD. This is the reason that we need to diagnose and treat this comorbidity, and have the knowledge of all possible symptoms of psychosis that can emerge in substance abuse and stimulant treatment.
