TL;DR
It is concluded that the increased risk for multiple and more pervasive mental disorder in the young adulthood of hyperactive boys cannot be attributed to childhood factors shared with siblings.
Abstract
This study reports on the psychiatric outcome as young adults (ages 16-23) of 50 hyperactive boys compared with their nonhyperactive brothers and to unrelated controls. Siblings provide a built-in control for potentially important factors, such as social class and parental psychopathology. Blind assessments at follow-up showed that significantly more probands (30%) than siblings (6%) and controls (10%) had multiple DSM-III diagnoses. Moreover, probands had a more severe form of antisocial disorder than siblings. In conclusion, the increased risk for multiple and more pervasive mental disorder in the young adulthood of hyperactive boys cannot be attributed to childhood factors shared with siblings.

The results indicate that the greatest risk factor for the development of antisocial behavior and drug abuse is the maintenance of ADDH symptoms, which followed the onset of conduct disorder in the overwhelming majority of cases.

Findings support the validity of ADDH compared to CD, at least in terms of the pattern of correlates, as children with both ADDH and CD appeared to represent a true hybrid disorder rather than one diagnosis or the other.

It is suggested that emotional problems in everyday living may result from the persistance of symptoms of hyperactivity and that most social and psychiatric consequences of the disorder relate to its presence in childhood as well as to its persistance in adulthood.

This model supports the construct validity of the DSM-III diagnoses attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity, substance use disorder, and antisocial personality disorder and suggests that behavior problems resulting from drug use in early adolescence have graver consequences for previously hyperactive children than normal subjects.
