Abstract: ADHD and BED comorbid nature is reviewed considering BED has a very strong relationship with obesity, a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases which is globally known as the leading cause of death. It is suggested that the comorbidity manifests as specific neurobiologic disorder in which ADHD and BED symptoms are overlapped. A review on the comorbidity of ADHD and BED is important as an effort to find out the pathological mechanism in both disorders and clinically, providing insights for effective case management strategies when both disorders occur simultaneously, as well as preventing BED behavior in ADHD cases through early detection of BED symptoms. The goal of this literature review is to further explore the currently proposed comorbidity mechanisms of both ADHD and BED pathophysiology.
