Hi, I was diagnosed a week ago with A.S. and diagnosed a few days ago with ADHD. It's such a relief to know what I'm fighting. Does anyone else have an autoimmune disorder and mental disorder? My primary care said it's common.

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)

Depression

Diffuse connective tissue disease

Anxiety (Including GAD)

Fibromyalgia (FM)

      Hi I have A.S and I also have Borderline Personality Disorder, along with depression and anxiety...which A.S alone causes anxiety and depression

      Yes. I was diagnosed with AS in 1984 and finally diagnosed with ADHD when I was in my 40's. But I think that I have had ADHD all my life.😥

      Hey, I have AS without ADHD. Also, your should know that ADHD is considered a neurological disorder and not a mental one.

      Hey there! So I haven’t been officially diagnosed with AS yet, but my neurologist highly suspects it, and I’m seeing a new rheumatologist to help confirm it. But I also have depression, anxiety, and my psychiatrist believes I have ADHD as well. I’m 31, and it’s taken me years to get my fibromyalgia diagnosis, and my mental health has always been a struggle for me. It definitely seems like AS is tied in with depression and anxiety. I’m here to support you!

      And it’s definitely a relief to have a diagnosis! I’m still fighting for the bigger picture for myself, but I know how hard that can be
