> but people with ADHD don’t generate enough dopamine to stimulate the circuits that regulate emotion. Most people with ADHD therefore experience heightened emotional responses to negative stimuli. This leads to all sorts of problems with relationships and work. Would you have a citation for this? |

103. A study of over 8600 youths from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey found that those with ADHD were four times as likely to have a high level of emotional and conduct problems and three times as likely to have a high level of peer problems. It also found that they were eight to ten times as likely to manifest a high level of impairment with home life, friendships, classroom learning, and leisure activities (Strine et al., 2006).
104. A meta-analysis of 22 studies with over 21,000 participants found that youths with ADHD were strongly impaired in the ability to modulate their reactivity to novel or stressful events (Graziano and Garcia, 2016). Another meta-analysis, combining twelve studies with over 1900 participants, found that adults with ADHD had very elevated levels of emotional dysregulation compared with normally developing controls (Beheshti et al., 2020).
105. A meta-analysis found that children with ADHD had medium-to-large impairments in socializing with peers as measured by rejection/likability, popularity, and friendships (61 studies, over 24,000 children). They also had moderate impairments in social skills such as sharing, cooperating, turn-taking, reciprocity (68 studies, over 148,000 children), and social-information processing, such as recognizing social cues, identifying problems, generating solutions, and avoiding biases (23 studies, over 3750 children) (Ros and Graziano, 2018).
106. A study of over 53,000 U.S. children from the National Survey of Children’s Health found that those with ADHD were 2.4 times as likely to engage in bullying (Montes and Halterman, 2007). A more recent study of some 64,000 children using the same database confirmed this finding, reporting that those with ADHD were 2.8 times more likely to engage in bullying (Benedict et al., 2015).
