Since 2015, the migration crisis has remained one of Europe’s most pressing challenges, sparking intense debate and diverging policy responses across the continent.

Comorbidity in ADHD

In the following, I would like to take a closer look at the high comorbidity of ADHD, as the background of social impairments can often be related to the combined effect of several disorders, which complicates the work of both researchers and clinicians in getting a better grasp at the disorder’s characteristics and diagnosing it.
