Can be associated: Involuntary bedwetting at night (enuresis) is common condition which can become problematic in older children and adolescents. It is associated with ADD/ADHD but it is not clear that one causes the other. See www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2794242/ or www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4945021/ Consider Obstructive Sleep Apnoea as underlying cause. Complete BEARS screening tool and see Dr.
