Is OCD the opposite of ADHD?

Not at all. People with ADHD, when motivated about something, tend to engage in their tasks in a hyper-focus state that could potentially be confused with some OCD-like behaviors. I see ADHD as a difficulty in controlling where attention should be allocated.

I've been reading about this because I definitely have OCD, and have since adolescence or earlier, and recently received ADHD diagnosis.
some ppl think ADHD-type symptoms are a byproduct of OCD bc anxieties/rituals tax executive function
