Answer this question to the best of your ability:
How does comorbidity apply to ADHD, depression, and anxiety?
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), depression, and anxiety often co-occur among individuals. According to research, up to 75% of children and adults with ADHD have at least one other mental health disorder, with depression and anxiety being the most common comorbid conditions.

Here's how these disorders may present together:

1. Symptom overlap: Some symptoms of depression (like difficulty concentrating or fatigue) and anxiety (like worry or restlessness) can mimic those of ADHD (like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity), making it difficult to accurately diagnose each disorder without a thorough evaluation.
2. Shared risk factors: Certain biological, psychological, and environmental risk factors may increase the likelihood that an individual develops more than one mental health condition. For example, genetics, brain development, stressful life events or traumatic experiences can contribute to the onset of ADHD, depression, and anxiety.
3. Mutual influence: The presence of one disorder can worsen or be worsened by another. For instance, having ADHD might lead to feelings of frustration, underachievement, and low self-esteem - which in turn could trigger or exacerbate depression and anxiety. Similarly, severe depression and anxiety may impair concentration, leading to perceived ADHD symptoms.
