The aim of this study is to investigate the potential neuropsychological effects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Complex (or non-complex) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD/ PTSD). Given that CBT regulates prefrontal dysfunction and that most mental health disorders involve some prefrontal dysfunction, it makes sense that CBT is one of the most recognized treatments for psychological disorders (Li et al., 2022; Fordham et al., 2021). While prefrontal dysfunction might be evident in many psychological conditions, such as ADHD and PTSD, there are also substantial differences in the contributors of this dysfunction, including symptoms, causation and neural mechanisms (Martinez et al., 2016; Goldin et al.,2021). CBT does not necessarily address these differences and there is limited review in the literature of its effectiveness in comparison to other therapeutic approaches. Martinez et al. (2016) show that both C-PTSD/PTSD and ADHD seem to overlap in some of the symptoms, especially ones related to executive dysfunction. Martinez et al. (2016) highlight that executive dysfunction symptoms in individuals with PTSD include impulsivity and difficulty inhibiting inappropriate responses, this stems from trauma and emotional dysregulation (especially overactivation of amygdala). Furthermore, Martinez et al. (2016) highlight that ADHD executive dysfunction also includes hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention; this stems from developmental differences in the structure and function of the brain (reduced PFC activity), this encourages reward seeking behaviour and makes it difficult to filter distractions. Study done by Goldin et al. (2021) reveals that CBT was associated with direct increase of PFC activity which was associated with indirect decrease of amygdala hyperactivity. Additionally, MBSR group was associated with direct decrease of amygdala hyperactivity and increase of activity in attention and emotional processing regions (anterior cingulate cortex, insula, and temporal gyrus; Goldin et al., 2021). These findings can conclude that MBSR is more directly associated with reduction of amygdala activity while indirectly associated with increasing PFC activity. While CBT is associated with directly increasing PFC activation, and indirectly reducing the amygdala activity, making it a more suitable treatment for individuals with ADHD. Given that executive disruptions stems from hyperactivity in amygdala for individuals with C-PTSD/PTSD and inherited developmental differences in the PFC in individuals with ADHD. We hypothesize that CBT will be associated with improved executive functioning and reduced symptom severity in individuals with ADHD. While MBSR will correlate with improved executive functioning and reduced symptoms severity in individuals with C-PTSD/PTSD.
