Is ocd and adhd common to correlate with each other? Or do they share some of the same symptoms? I have been diagnosed with ocd but for the longest time I thought I had Adhd due to it running in my family and having symptoms from childhood to this day. I’m watching social media videos and I relate to it however I notice the people posting them have ocd and adhd
It’s a common comorbidity. You can have both and some symptoms are very similar
I have adult onset ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder. All of these disorders can cause abnormal behavior, impulsivity, severe anxiety, and in my case, a lot of confusion about why I think/feel/act the way I do. I've learned that the specific cause isn't always as important as learning how to control and/or live with these feelings and not beat myself up about it. I think that it's valuable to learn from the similarities we share with others as well as recognizing that each individual is on their own unique journey with their own brain chemistry/life experiences/personality. You are not alone.
