The article was interesting. If my understanding is correct it says that OCD involves to some extent ADHD. And also the opposite seems to be true (DOC as way to manages ADHD syntoms). My first diagnosis was probably wrong because obsessions and compulsions are very easy to recognize and, ok, I just don't have them. But the picture is clouded by the fact that in my country adult-adhd doesn't exist so nobody could have diagnosed me ADHD ! And my first doc didn't properly diagnosed me OCD, he said that I could have OCD-traits. But the first time he saw me I was on Anafranil, and serotoninergic meds tend to make me a little OCD, like thiking about the same things instead of thousand of things at once like when I'm not on meds. And I tend to become very 'pedant' and precise on the long term (like OCD-personality), as I am here and now, in my reply to your post !!! I'm on Zoloft at the moment : )
In this period I'm more focused in discovering if I have some bipolar issues anyway ;-)Sorry for the weird reply, I took a benzo, and see what happens ! : ) Thanks again !
Francesco
