Inattentive Adhd Bedwetting

Inattentive Adhd Bedwetting Bedwetting is fairly common in all children with the prevalence in boys being greater than in girls. There are two kinds of ADHD; those with Inattentive ADHD have difficulty paying attention and staying organized while those with Hyperactive-Impulsive ADHD are overly active and impulsive.

While there is no clearly established link between ADHD and bedwetting, it has been found that children who suffer from the former show greater tendencies of suffering from the latter. Here’s a look into the relation between these two conditions and methods by which such occurrences may be reduced.

“ADHD does not cause bedwetting, though ADHD kids are more likely to have bedwetting than the general population,” says Dr. Robert Myers, creator of the Total Focus program at Legacy Publishing. Dr. Myers is a clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families and parents, specializing in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

It can also be a side effect of ADHD medications. Children with ADHD wet their beds more often than children without the disorder. However, there is no evidence that one causes the other and no research to explain why it is more common in children with ADHD.
