Abstract

It is well established that patients with either bipolar disorder (BD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) present functional impairment even when in remission. Nevertheless, research on functional impairment with adult patients with bipolar disorder comorbid to ADHD (BD+ADHD) is very scarce. The main objective of the current report was to evaluate the overall and specific domains of functioning, in patients with BD+ADHD compared to patients with pure bipolar disorder (pBD) and healthy controls (HCs).162 subjects from 3 groups were compared: 63 pBD, 23 BD+ADHD and 76 HCs. All the patients with BD had been euthymic for at least 6 months and they were recruited at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. All the participants were assessed with the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) and the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST). Clinical, and sociodemographic data were also recorded.Clinical groups, pBD and BD+ADHD, showed lower overall functioning (p < 0.001) in each domain of the FAST scale compared to the HCs. Moreover, the Tukey post hoc test revealed that the BD+ADHD group showed a worse score than pBD in the cognitive domain of the FAST. However, after controlling for potential confounding variables, only the HDRS scores (p < 0.026) remained significant for the cognitive domain of the FAST.The small sample size of the comorbid BD+ADHD group.Adult patients with BD+ADHD showed the worst scores in functioning compared with the HCs, but did not show more severe functional impairment than the pBD group except for the cognitive domain. Therefore our findings suggest that depressive symptoms in adults with BD+ADHD may negatively influence cognitive functioning. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings for the management of BD+ADHD.Copyright © 2017. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-05:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 110.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 110 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 4.
  • The number of mentions on the social network Facebook: 2 (Altmetric).
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 6 (Altmetric).
