摘要
Childhood traumatisation is frequently caused by sexual abuse. Goal of our study was the qualitative and quantitative analysis of childhood traumatisation in ADHD patients. We examined 125 adults with childhood ADHD and 195 controls. Traumatic experiences, including sexual abuse, were assessed by standardized questionnaires. ADHD subjects showed significant higher rates in emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect according to CTQ-subscales as compared to controls. ADHD persons described both more hands-on- and hands-off sexual abuse in childhood. Moreover, ADHD subjects who reported sexual abuse described significant more anxious and depressive symptoms in childhood than non-abused ADHD subjects. Our results suggest a higher risk for AMID children to become a victim of sexual abuse. Therefore preventive work might be required and therapy should pay attention to potential traumatisation in ADHD patients.
