Question: Hello professor,
  
  I've been diagnosed with ADHD about 10 years ago. I've learned a lot to mitigate my symptoms using medications and psychotherapy, and I could live my life fairly well because of this.
  However, my father got very sick with brain cancer when I entered my twenties. He eventually died after about a year of slow deterioration. This led to me having trauma from seeing him go through this process and heavy grief after he passed away.
  
  I noticed that it became harder to manage my symptoms like I used to be able to, and that my daily life suffers more from symptoms like forgetfulness and executive dysfunction. This has been going on for multiple years now, and as of yet improvement of this has been slow.
  
  I wondered if you know anything about ADHD interacting with trauma/grief/depression, and maybe if there is any research on this matter that I could read so I can learn more about this subject myself.
Answer: I don't know of any readings on the topic but do know that when someone with ADHD has another, untreated, disorder that puts them at risk for worse outcomes. So, it is best to seek advice from a mental health professional.
