ADHD and addiction with Wim van den Brink

ADHD and addiction with Wim van den Brink

Professor Wim van den Brink will be giving the Society Lecture at the SSA's 2023 Annual Conference. In this special episode of the Addictions Edited podcast, he talks to Rob Calder about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and addiction.

“If we want to prevent substance use disorders in patients with ADHD, we have to start early.”

In an exclusive interview for the Addictions Edited podcast, Wim says that he hopes to use his talk at the SSA conference to deliver a few key messages: firstly, that ADHD is very common in patients with addiction – perhaps one in four will have adult ADHD; secondly, that the overlap or comorbidity could be attributed to a number of things – from neurobiological and psychological factors, to genetics and the environment; and thirdly, that establishing the respective weight of these contributing factors is important for prevention and treatment – for example, in determining whether pharmacological treatments and neuromodulation could offer more promise than, say, psychotherapies.
