Awareness of the links between ADHD and PTSD can help with the effective diagnosis and treatment of these comorbid conditions.

Having ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is linked to an increased risk of major depression, PTSD, anorexia nervosa and attempted suicide, a new study found.

Researchers looked for a link between ADHD and seven mental health conditions: anorexia nervosa, anxiety, bipolar disorder, major depression, PTSD, schizophrenia and at least one suicide attempt.

Living with ADHD was also associated with an 18% higher chance of developing PTSD after a trauma. If the person had both ADHD and depression, the risk of PTSD rose by 67%.
