ADHD and epilepsy have a strong connection - between 30-40% of people with epilepsy also have ADHD. The relationship goes both ways, as people diagnosed with ADHD are also more likely to develop seizures.
Researchers believe that both conditions may be linked through common factors like stress, anxiety, or inflammation that affects brain structures. Having blood relatives with both conditions can be a risk factor, as can complications during pregnancy or premature birth. Managing both conditions can be complex since some antiepileptic medications may affect ADHD symptoms, especially when taking multiple medications. However, there's encouraging news - some ADHD medications may actually help reduce seizure risk rather than increase it.
The most important thing is to make sure all your healthcare providers know about both conditions and all medications you're taking so they can coordinate the best treatment plan for you.

Although I do not know why they are connected, I can tell you: It is true that most people who have epilepsy also have another condition such as- ADD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety..etc.
So I'm not sure why this is, but it's true.
I hope somehow my response helped. If you Google it like "Why do people with epilepsy have other conditions?"
It should show you the things I've read online.
Hope this helps!
Have a blessed day!!
