Can people with adhd and sleep apnea drive safely?

Dr. Deborah Ungerleider answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Yes, if both issues are addressed & treated properly. With ADHD, it might be difficult to pay attention to the road. With sleep apnea, daytime sleepiness can be dangerous. Anyone with these issues should discuss with their doctor.
