Introduction The prevalence of ADHD in adult population has
been estimated at 2.5%. Higher rates (23.9%) have been reported
among adult mental health service (AMHS) users.
Aims To estimate the prevalence of ADHD among adult MH users
in west county Ireland.
Methods All consecutive patients attending any of 5 Sligo/Leitrim
AMHSwere invited to participate. Participants completed the Adult
ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and the Wender Utah Rating Scale
(WURS). Clinical notes were reviewed to identify those with pre-
existing ADHD diagnosis. Exclusion criteria applied were: age: less
18 or above 65, illiterate, non-English speaking patients.
Results From 792 attending the clinics, n = 59 (47 aged above 65,
10 severe learning difficulties and 2 non-English speaking) were
excluded. Ninety-three (11.7%) decline to participate, giving a total
of n = 640 (87% eligible response rate). Mean age was 41.27 (SD:
12.8), and 336 (52.5%) were females. Three had diagnosis of ADHD.
Two hundred and thirteen (33.8%) met criteria on the WURS for
childhood onset ADHD and 238 (37.5%) participants met caseness
on the ASRS. Applying more stringent criteria of scoring on both
scales, suggested 125 (19.5%) with unrecognised ADHD.
Conclusions While recall bias (WURS) and the possibility of
overlapping symptoms with other major psychiatric disorders in
adulthood need to be considered, the use of both screening reduces
these confounders and suggests a very high rate of ADHD. Given the
low number previously identified, this becomes a clinical priority,
both to offset the negative trajectories associated with untreated
ADHD, but also to effect optimal treatments in comorbid conditions.

Introduction Social networks allow individuals to express them-
selves, and establish or maintain connections with others. Using
social networks like Facebook may be associated with a sense of
self-worth and may play an important role in psychological devel-
opment of university students who are in emerging adulthood
phase.
Objective (1) Assess the psychological well-being of Saudi uni-
versity students using social networks (Facebook).
(2) Explore whether the relationship between Facebook use and
bridging social capital is different for individuals with varying
degrees of self-esteem and satisfaction with life.
Aim To study the psychological well-being of Saudi university
students using social networks (Facebook).
Method An electronic survey was published in the community
site for all students of King SaudUniversity. In addition to the demo-
graphic information, the survey evaluates Facebook use intensity,
bridging social capital and psychological well-being: self-esteem
and satisfaction with life.
Results A total of 1005 students completed the survey, of which
50.5% were female. Majority of them were members in Facebook
(92.1%).
Conclusions Results showed no significant correlation between
the use of Facebook and psychological well-being. It could be due
to the fundamental difference between Arabs and other cultures
or due to the use of other social networks. There was a posi-
tive relationship between bridging social capital and psychological
well-being with being in preparatory year, which is most likely
because advanced years has more workload preventing students
fromparticipating in King Saud University community. A longitudi-
nal study over a series of years and addressing other popular social
networks would be the next step.

In the present study, we certain demographic variables of immi-
grants accessing specialized mental health care at two points in
time: 2013 and 2014. According to the National Institute of Statis-
tics, the number of foreigners fell by 4% in 2013 and 3% in 2014 due
to emigration and the acquisition of Spanish nationality. Among
the objectives of the department of health is collected to ensure the
right to health protection to immigrants through effective access to
the health system and improve management capacity and perfor-
mance of health centers in diverse contexts.
Results Despite the overall decline in foreign an increase in first
consultations requested for immigrants was observed. At both
time points, higher demand for foreign women is observed. With
respect to age greater demand seen in middle adulthood, however
in 2014 there is a greater homogeneity with respect to this variable.
The greatest demand comes from Morocco, Romania and Poland,
although most Latin American countries are increasingly observed.
Conclusions Better access and better quality health care to both
the immigrant population and of citizens in amount from accep-
tance and commitment to this complex and diverse and its
approach will be achieved.
