Research Notes on ADHD and Overactive Bladder
Currently, no clinical evidence is available online to support a link between ADHD and an overactive bladder. Some experts believe there is a connection with the neurotrasmitter serotonin 5-hydroxtryptamine (5-HT), responsible for serotonin release. ADHD may be responsible with a disturbance of the impulses of 5-HT causing a change in urination frequency.1
Fast Facts:
- Approximately one in six adults is diagnosed with overactive bladder in the United States and Europe.2
- Bladder infection, stress, Parkinson's disease, and stroke are among the possible causes of overactive bladder.3
- ADHD is a neurobehavioral disorder which causes hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.4
