In combination, ADHD is usually diagnosed at a young age and as they grow older, this causes them to develop schizophrenia. Having trouble focusing are symptoms of both ADHD ad schizophrenia therefore it leads on to the person becoming predominantly schizophrenic which is a much more serious mental illness. I know because this is what happened to me.
