ADHD in adults and criminal behavior: The role of psychiatric comorbidities and clinical and sociodemographic factors in a clinical sample
Adult ADHD, particularly in males, with combined presentation and in the presence of comorbidities such as oppositional defiant disorder and alcohol use disorder, is associated with an increased risk of criminal behavior. The findings highlight the need for personalized and multimodal interventions to mitigate these risks. Future studies should adopt longitudinal designs to explore causal dynamics and evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic strategies in forensic contexts.
