I've spent years working with children who struggle with focus, and I can tell you that what we often dismiss as "just being a kid" might actually be something more. When parents come to me worried about their child's attention span, I always start by looking at the bigger picture, because ADHD rarely shows up alone.

ADHD frequently comes with companions like anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, and sleep disorders. In fact, studies show that 60-80% of children with ADHD have at least one other condition. This overlap can make diagnosis tricky and treatment even more complex.
