Cover Story: This review explores the bidirectional link between ADHD and metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. It highlights shared pathophysiological mechanisms, including dopaminergic dysfunction, HPA axis dysregulation, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Several critical knowledge gaps remain, which should be addressed with future research. This paper underscores the importance of an integrated clinical approach and the establishment of an interdisciplinary care model that brings together paediatricians, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, and nutritionists. Efforts to publish health-related research should be encouraged to raise awareness about the interconnected nature of these diseases. View this paper
