Excessive mind wandering mediates link between ADHD and depression/anxiety, study finds
A study of adults diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suggests that excessive mind wandering, rumination, and decreased mindfulness may mediate the link between ADHD symptoms and depression/anxiety. ADHD may predispose individuals to excessive mind wandering, rumination, and reduced mindfulness, which in turn can lead to more severe symptoms of depression and anxiety. The paper was published in Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy.
