Can I have both ADHD and OCD?

Coexistence of ADHD and OCD

Yes, it is possible for an individual to have both ADHD and OCD. Research indicates that approximately 11.8% of individuals diagnosed with OCD also show symptoms of ADHD. Furthermore, if a person displays symptoms of both conditions from an early age, they are likely to experience more severe OCD symptoms, a greater persistence of these symptoms, and a less optimistic outlook regarding their condition.
