Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder impacts the development of neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease
Findings indicate that a higher genetic risk for ADHD may be a risk factor for the development of hyperactive and apathy symptoms in CI individuals. These effects were specific for ADHD and were not observed for other prevalent psychiatric disorders. Clinically, our results contribute to the literature that highlights the need for tailored assessments for CI individuals with ADHD histories.
