Yes. ADHD and : seizures can overlap in symptoms but are usually considered to be co-morbid;that is,can co-exist at the same time. A psychiatrist can help in these areas.

Yes: They don't necessarily have a cause/effect relationship any more than any other kid.It is not something I expect with these patients.Yet any kid can be ADHD.
