Hi Friends! Today we’re going to run through some common ADHD comorbidities. Before I get started, there are probably many individuals that only have ADHD. This newsletter will shed light on some common co-occurring conditions which might resonate with you.
One other comorbidity you might consider looking at is PMDD. According to an article I read recently on Additude Magazine, 46% of women (the term they used, maybe also high for more gender fluid menstrators) have PMDD. I do not have a formal ADHD diagnosis but I do have a recently diagnosed genetic condition that pre-disposes me to ADHD and ASD and I have been diagnosed with PMDD for 7 years. I highly suspect I have ADHD and wonder about ASD as well.

Great post. Very thought provoking and a lot resonates with me and for my 9yo son who was diagnosed last year.
I have ADHD, diagnosed this year aged 56. Also in recovery from SUD (3 years).
