The present study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design to examine associations among ADHD symptoms and sexual dysfunction in adults. The relationship between sexual dysfunction and other variables, such as anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as functional impairment, were assessed as well. A total of 197 participants (147 females, 50 males; ages 19-48) from university and community settings completed a series of online self-report measures assessing ADHD symptom severity, anxiety and depressive symptoms, functional impairment, and sex-specific sexual functioning. Separate analyses were conducted for female and male participants using linear regression models. ADHD symptom severity was not significantly associated with sexual functioning in either females or males. Depressive symptoms were also not associated with sexual functioning in either group. Higher anxiety symptoms were significantly associated with lower sexual functioning among females, but not among males. Across both males and females, higher functional impairment was associated with sexual dysfunction. Results highlight the importance of considering functional impairment and anxiety in particular when examining sexual dysfunction in individuals. Implications for clinical assessment and future research directions are discussed.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Sexual DysfunctionAnxietyDepressionFunctional Impairment
