Abstract
While research has shown that the prevalence of ADHD in the general population has increased over time, there have been no studies focused on ADHD prevalence in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This study compares two cohorts of adults with rigorously diagnosed BPD recruited nearly three decades apart (1992 vs. 2020). Participants from the 1992 McLean Study of Adult Development (MSAD) (N = 290) and the 2020 Flourishing study (N = 147) were assessed for ADHD using DSM-III-R and DSM-5 criteria respectively. Compared to MSAD subjects, the prevalence of ADHD among Flourishing subjects was significantly higher overall, and in female (but not male) subjects. This increased prevalence, which is likely due to the broadening of the DSM criteria over time, highlights what many observers believe to be a problematic expansion of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD that may have decoupled this criteria set from capturing a neurodevelopmental disorder that typically begins in childhood.
