Is attention deficit disorder linked with OCD?!


Question: Is attention deficit disorder linked with OCD?
I have met more than one person with add and ocd together. I was wondering if they were linked somehow or they trigger each other or something.

Answers:

OCD can be a comorbid to ADHD (ADD), and since only 1/3 of all people with ADHD (ADD) have it without a comorbid (on its own) it would be quite common to see people with both. Approximately 25% of individuals with ADHD also have Anxiety disorder(s).

Depression and Bipolar disorder are more common with ADHD (ADD).

I have ADHD



no, they are both very diffrent, add is lack of observation and ocd is compultion



I think they are but not sure.
