Evidence has emerged that ADHD patients have emotional dysfunctions, most prominently problems with emotion regulation, which has been argued to be related to poor top-down executive control over enhanced bottom-up emotional reactivity, resulting in enhanced disinhibitory and aggressive behaviors.
“More recently, evidence has emerged that ADHD patients have also emotional dysfunctions, most prominently problems with emotion regulation, which has been argued to be related to poor top-down executive control over enhanced bottom-up emotional reactivity, resulting in enhanced disinhibitory and aggressive behaviors (Barkley and Fischer, 2010; Graziano et al., 2013; Shaw et al., 2014).”

Recent clinic-based studies report impairing emotion dysregulation in between 34-70% of adults with ADHD, although population based studies are needed.
“This has been supported to some extent by recent clinic-based studies reporting impairing emotion dysregulation in between 34-70% of adults with ADHD, although population based studies are needed (69-73)–Table 1.”
From Emotion Dysregulation in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (2014) · cites this paper as [70]
Low levels of omega-3-fatty acids are associated with electrophysiological anomalies during emotion processing in ADHD.
“Given that low levels of omega-3-fatty acids are associated with electrophysiological anomalies during emotion processing in ADHD, might emotion dysregulation in ADHD also benefit from supplementation (133)?”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
