This literature review and meta-analysis examines large-scale studies to understand the relationship between ADHD adults and co-occurring psychiatric issues, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and substance use, with attention to sex and age differences. The findings highlight significantly higher rates of these conditions in ADHD adults compared to neurotypical individuals, though limited data on age-specific patterns restrict conclusions. The review also discusses methodological challenges and identifies key gaps for future research.
