PCOS and ADHD seem to travel together. Is there a link?

PCOS and ADHD can appear in the same person, and some research reports overlap between PCOS and ADHD traits, but that is not proof that PCOS causes ADHD, and it is not proof of a shared gene that a forum can name. NHS information on polycystic ovary syndrome describes a reproductive and metabolic condition with its own diagnostic path. NHS ADHD pages describe a neurodevelopmental condition diagnosed from history and impairment, not from an ovary finding.
