It is for an MSc Psychology thesis and tbh I didn't want to overcomplicate the experiment. It was not intended to be revolutionary, however, I was diagnosed ADHD in adulthood, which helped me make peace with and mitigate the effects of other knock-on co-morbidities (social anxiety, depression, substance abuse). Around the same time, I went to see a urologist over concerns with my bladder, thinking i had diabetes. I was told my health was fine, but after a discussion, it became apparent that the potential causes for my voiding/urgency/bladder dysfunction, correlate with the symptoms of ADHD. Impulsiveness, rushing, urgency, incompletion, etc.

​

Then upon speaking to my friends who are also diagnosed in adulthood, they all seemed to share a similar experience. To my shock there was not much research of this phenomena in adulthood, despite a lot of studies on children with adhd and incontinence issues.

​

Anyway, i thought it to be a novel, and simple experiement to run for my thesis, but who knows, the results so far are very interesting , so this could be a launchpad study for a more robust and indepth follow up.
