ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition; however, its symptoms often overlap with those of common mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety. This means that it can be hard to make an accurate diagnosis of these conditions in patients with ADHD. Notably, adults and children with ADHD have a higher risk of developing a mental health condition. In fact, a staggering 80% of adults with ADHD will have at least one co-occurring mental health disorder. Unfortunately, these conditions are often misdiagnosed or even missed altogether in individuals with ADHD.  For this reason, medical professionals must keep their minds open to the possibility of mental health issues in their ADHD patients and conduct thorough assessments to identify these early on.
