abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study examined symptoms of anxiety and depression among college students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). PARTICIPANTS: Data were collected between March 2011 and March 2016 from 150 college students with ADHD and 150 college students without ADHD. <br><br>METHOD: Participants with ADHD were compared to a sex- and ethnicity-matched control group. For the ADHD group, parent and self-report of anxiety and depression were also compared. <br><br>RESULTS: College students with ADHD self-reported significantly higher anxiety and depressive symptoms than did students without ADHD. Scores on parent-report measures of anxiety and depressive symptoms were significantly higher than scores on self-report measures. Significant sex differences were found for participants with ADHD, with females showing higher depressive and anxiety symptoms than males. Parent-reported anxiety symptoms were higher for those with inattentive type ADHD compared to combined type ADHD. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The current study highlights the importance of multi-informant assessment in ADHD evaluations for college-aged adults.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
