Adult patients with ADHD differ from healthy controls in implicit, but not explicit, emotion regulation

Conclusion: Although emotion dysregulation is regarded as a core symptom of ADHD, explicit reappraisal does not seem to be impaired in adult patients. However, increased activation of the ACC implies stronger implicit emotion regulation induced by negative stimuli. This might be explained by emotional hyperresponsivity in patients with ADHD compared with controls. PMID: 31025560 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
