Excuse me if this term is wrong, I don't know the right term for this problem, but it consists is a difficulty to keep atentive and it's associated to hiperactivity. The questio is: Which are the odds that a child with this diagnose should develope schizophrenia?
It's Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Uhm you want to know the comorbidity levels? I dont think they're too high. They dont really have to do with each other...
I'll try and find out for you
Is there a particular reason you want to know?
Thank you for paying attetion to my question and yes, there is a very strong reason to ask it: a child whom I love dearly has this problem and furthermore there are some ancestors who suffered schizophrenia, it runs in the family, so I am very worried. SOFÍA

I talked to my professor who worked with kids with ADHD and he said he's never heard of a link between the two... so it's about the same odds as anyone in the "normal" population...
That is entirely different... if there is past history in the family it raises the risk substantially (although ADHD has nothing to do with it)
