The subjects comprised 116 children and adolescents who had been diagnosed with ADHD, comorbid ADHD with emotional disorders, and emotional disorders. K-WISC-IV and K-CBCL 6-18 were used for this study. The results of this study were as follows: First, as a result of comparing the three groups based on K-WISC-IV, ADHD was found to be significantly lower than the comorbidity group and the emotional disorders group in WMI, Digit Span, and Letter-Number Sequencing. The ADHD and the comorbidity groups scored lower than the emotional disorders group in full scale IQ. Second, comparing K-CBCL 6-18 scores among these three groups, the comorbidity group and the emotional disorders gtoup scored higher than the ADHD group in exhibition of signs of being withdrawn/depressed. The emotional disorders group was found to be higher than the ADHD and the comorbidity group in terms of the Internalizing scale. Thus, the results of this study suggested that the ADHD and comorbid ADHD with emotional disorders group scored lower than the emotional disorders group in full scale IQ.
