Can people with ADHD also have social anxiety disorder?

May 27th, 2009 | by admin |
Magnum Opus asked:


My psychologist says that people with ADHD can not have social anxiety disorder because they would not be able to focus on typical SAD fears/obsessions for very long.

She says that people with ADHD would not care about how they appear to other people, because they would not be able to focus on those thoughts for very long.

Is she correct?
Yes, she did actually say that. I am not making it up.
