In this interview conducted at the NYU Langone Child Study Center on Feb. 24, 2012, Rachel Klein, Ph.D., talks about one of the findings of a first-of-its-kind research study, which followed children diagnosed with ADHD into adulthood. While a majority of the children went on to successful adult lives, around 20 percent developed something called Anti-Social Personality Disorder, which is strongly associated with negative outcomes in adulthood, including substance abuse and criminality. Dr. Klein talks about warning signs that begin during the teen years, and what parents can do to minimize the risks.

Dr. Klein is the Fascitelli Family Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and the Director of the Anita Saltz Institute for Anxiety and Mood Disorders at the NYU Langone Child Study Center and Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, NYU Langone Medical Center.
