Abstract in brief

The study analyzed 13 research papers to compare emotional dysregulation (ED) in adults with ADHD versus healthy controls, finding that adults with ADHD experience significantly higher levels of ED, especially emotional lability and negative emotional responses.
Emotional lability, which involves rapid and intense mood changes, was the most prominent facet of ED in adults with ADHD, and both ED and symptom severity are closely related.
These results support the idea that emotional dysregulation is a core feature of ADHD in adults, particularly highlighting the importance of emotional lability and negative emotional responses in understanding the disorder.]
