For people living with OCD, courage is not the absence of fear.

It's showing up anyway, even when thoughts feel loud and uncertain. Every small step forward counts, even the ones taken while afraid. 💙

When ADHD and OCD show up together, symptoms can blend in ways that are hard to untangle.

Inattention might feel like distractibility—but it could be obsessive thoughts taking over. Repetitive behaviors might come from restlessness… or anxiety.

Planning, decision-making, and daily routines can feel overwhelming, and relationships can get strained—not because of laziness, but because the brain is working differently.

Understanding the overlap is the first step toward clarity and support and Sommer Psychology Group can help. Contact us for a free 20min consultation.

ADHD and OCD together in adults occur more often than is typically recognized in general mental health settings. Research shows that approximately 25-33% of individuals with OCD also meet criteria for ADHD, while about 8-11% of individuals with ADHD meet criteria for OCD.

Part of the challenge is that symptoms can mask each other. Attention difficulties may be attributed to anxiety or obsessive thinking, while compulsive behaviors may be overlooked when ADHD Is already diagnosed. This can delay accurate identification of both conditions.

ADHD also persists into adulthood in roughly 60% of childhood cases, increasing the likelihood that both conditions may be present at the same time.

Recognizing how often these conflitions co-occur helps explain why symptoms may feel more intense or harder to manage when only one diagnosis is addressed.

ADHD and OCD together in adults can create overlapping symptoms that are difficult to separate.

Challenges with attention, follow-through, and organization may occur alolgside rigid thinking, mental loops, or repetitive behaviors. These patterns can interfere with work, relationships, and everyday functioning.

Because the symptoms pull in different directions, they are often misunderstood or attributed to anxiety, personality traits, or lack of effort. This can delay accurate identification and appropriate treatment.

Understanding how ADHD and OCD interact helps clarify why symptoms feel so conflicting and supports more effective care. In clinical work with adults, these conditions frequently appear together.

Anxiety often tells us what to avoid.
Healing asks us to respond differently.

Not by forcing calm.
Not by judging ourselves.
But by slowing down, questioning the fear, and choosing compassion—one small step at a time.
