There isn't an opposite of ADHD par say. Schizophrenia would be the chemical opposite of ADHD since it involves too much dopamine in the brain as opposed to little dopamine in individuals with ADHD.

Is it possible to have ADHD like behavior and not ADHD?

Of course! Misdiagnoses are common, especially in mental disorders. This is partly because the symptoms do not necessarily lead to the disease, but also because many different disorders can have similar symptoms. In particular, symptoms of OCD and ADHD can look very much alike but they are actually opposite malfunctions of the same part of the brain. In OCD this part of the brain is overactive and in ADHD it is underactive. Unfortunately, this has often led to diagnoses of "comorbid" ADHD and OCD, but researchers are discovering that the brain processes are actually opposite, which means it would be impossible to have both at the same time.

Is ADHD linked to Obesity?

Yes, studies show that it can be, especially if the person is the Hyperactive vs Inattentive type. Hyperactivity in ADHD is linked to impulsiveness, which can sometimes lead to binge eating episodes that eventually lead to obesity. However, the opposite is true as well. Those with ADHD who are prescribed stimulant medications frequently have the strong side effect; loss of appetite. So they actually end up eating less often than they should be; more commonly seen in those diagnosed with ADHD "predominately inattentive" type.
