Therefore, and due to many other lines of evidence, there is a scientific consensus that the condition is a distinct syndrome. [ 2 ] If CDS and ADHD coexist together, the problems are additive: those with both conditions had higher levels of impairment and inattention than adults with ADHD only, [ 17 ] and were more likely to be unmarried, out ...

Bálint's syndrome symptoms can be quite debilitating since they impact visuospatial skills, visual scanning and attentional mechanisms.
