I can provide information on the topic.

Yes, it is possible to have both OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) simultaneously. These are two distinct mental health conditions, and individuals can have comorbidities, which means they can experience more than one condition at the same time.

ADHD is characterized by symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, while OCD involves intrusive and distressing thoughts (obsessions) followed by repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) to alleviate the anxiety caused by the obsessions. Each condition has its own diagnostic criteria, and having one does not preclude the possibility of having the other.

It's essential to consult with a qualified mental health professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis if you suspect you might have OCD or any other mental health condition. They can assess your symptoms, consider your medical history, and provide appropriate guidance and treatment options. Online quizzes can be a fun way to learn about mental health, but they should not be used as a substitute for a professional evaluation.
