In the article, a group of early career psychiatrists presents the results of a discussion about the relationship between attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and addictions. Modern views on the commonality of the occurrence of these conditions at the genetic, morphological and functional levels are considered. Possible clinical manifestations and the frequency of comorbidity are described. Modern pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to the treatment of these comorbid conditions are discussed in detail separately. The features of therapy in the combination of ADHD with various addictions are highlighted.
