Gender Dysphoria and Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Among Adults with Gender Dysphoria and Their Clinical Phenotype.

Findings indicate that GD individuals show high prevalence of ADHD and that individuals with both GD and ADHD appear to represent a more complex subpopulation with heightened depressive and anxiety symptoms and increased functional impairment. These results underscore that the presence of ADHD is frequent and appears to exert an important clinical impact on individuals with GD; therefore, ADHD should be routinely screened for in this population.
