A member asked:
Is it possible to have both adhd and schizophenia? what about adhd and asperger's syndrome? i'm a 38yrold caucasian male; family history of autism.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Comorbidity is: when 2 or more conditions occur in the same person. ADHD can be comorbid with both Autism Spectrum Disorders and Schizophrenia. However there is overlap of symptoms as well and a good evaluation is necessary to differentiate if the person has one or the other or both conditions. If a person has schizophrenia then that is the priority TX target. ADHD TX would follow if necessary. Best regards.
