Description
Rebecka Astenvald, Matilda Frick, and Johan Isaksson study how children with ADHD feel and manage distinct emotions, in a 2025 paper. Emotional struggles are common in ADHD, but past work blurred emotions together and rarely compared diagnosis-based and trait-based views. This study separates reactivity, how strongly feelings hit, from regulation, how they are handled, across sadness, fear, anger, and exuberance.
One group held 104 young people aged ten to seventeen, some diagnosed, some not. Another held eighty-five teens referred to a specialist clinic, scored on ADHD traits instead. Questionnaires went to youths and caregivers alike. The design also tests age and sex patterns while accounting for anxiety, depression, and other traits that often travel with ADHD.
