October is widely recognised as ADHD Awareness Month, dedicated to raising understanding and support for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Last week, we also marked OCD Awareness Week (#OCDweek) from October 13–19, 2024, aimed at dispelling myths about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and providing education on supporting those affected.
It's important to note the comorbidity between ADHD and OCD, as symptoms of one can mimic the other. Clinicians should consider that ADHD-like symptoms may stem from OCD-specific symptomatology, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.
