In adult patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder who are thought to have comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, the symptoms of inattention, forgetfulness, and impaired executive function might actually be an epiphenomenon of OCD rather than a manifestation of ADHD, a study has shown.
OCD patients’ "continuous and excessive attempts to control behavior and thoughts" may cause a flooding of the executive system, interfering with attention, memory, and other executive processes, said Amitai Abramovitch, Ph.D., of the department of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, Boston, and his associates.
