The aim of the study is to explore the impact of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) comorbidity in children
with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Six hundred children with ADHD (mean age=9.12 years), recruited from 2013 to 2017, participated in the
study. A total of 96 (16%) children with ADHD displayed a comorbidity with GAD. ADHD+GAD were compared
to 504 ADHD children without GAD in terms of cognitive and psychiatric profile, ADHD subtype and
family psychiatric history.

Aim. In this study, we investigated in people suffering from alcohol use disorder (AUD) with or without dual diagnosis (concomitant psychiatric disability) how they feel their dependence condition. We predicted that AUD people with a dual diagnosis could feel
potentiated their addiction.
Methods. Alcohol habits and psychiatric conditions of 183 AUD men and 62 AUD women were measured by using the DSM-5, the severity of alcohol dependence questionnaire (SADQ), the alcohol anamnesis and psychiatric examination by the symptom
check list 90-R (SCL-90-R).
