Adult ADHD, executive function, depressive/anxiety symptoms, and quality of life: A serial two-mediator model.

Background: Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with impaired executive function (EF), depressive/anxiety symptoms, and poor quality of life (QoL). In this study, we aimed to investigate correlations among these variables and to build a simple or serial mediation model for exploring the mechanisms between adult ADHD and QoL.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study.
