[QUOTE="SRL, post: 363252, member: 701"] Youngsters with ADHD plus early Conduct Disorder are at higher risk for substance abuse. Now that's sure a big shocker.:rolleye: Seriously, we need studies for this? [B]"Dr. Wilens and colleagues showed that there are children with ADHD that are at risk for substance abuse but most of them have a diagnosis of conduct disorder, which translates into juvenile delinquency later. Many ADHD children want to be good. For the child with conduct disorder, being good is not a priority. This work says that ADHD plus conduct disorder equals a very serious problem," Dr. Benson said.[/B] [B]"Dr. Wilens answers convincingly that the vast majority of ADHD children will not abuse drugs later, but if the child has more severe, more oppositional, behaviors we have to acknowledge that he may be heading for a life of trouble," he continued.[/B] [B]"This is the challenge for psychiatrists, to find ways to treat the comorbidities.
