Roughly a third of those with ADHD also meet criteria for an anxiety disorder. Disrupted attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity can be present in both conditions, and conventional self-assessment scales do a poor job of differentiating whether symptoms arise from ADHD, anxiety, or both.
ADHD in early childhood contributes to the development of anxiety disorders, whereas most research has failed to show that anxiety disorders cause full-blown ADHD. However, anxiety often worsens symptoms of ADHD. In other instances, anxiety can reduce the expression of ADHD symptoms such as impulsivity.
A careful exploration of the progression of symptoms over time, and examining which situations worsen or improve symptoms yields the most help in differentiating anxiety from ADHD. Medication can also be quite helpful in sorting out the two conditions. Stimulants and other ADHD medications (at appropriate doses) usually reduce anxiety in those with ADHD, but tend to exacerbate anxiety in those without ADHD.
The treatment of anxiety in the setting of ADHD often starts with proper adjustment of any ADHD medications. A number of agents, including SSRI, buspirone, and guanfacine, can be added on to target anxiety reduction in individuals with ADHD. Behavioral approaches, including cyclic sighing, exercise, meditation, and the chanting of mantras, may also help reduce anxiety, as can CBT based cognitive reframing and re-education.

Psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author John Kruse, MD, PhD presents practical, actionable, well-researched information about treatment options that scientists and clinicians recommend for adult ADHD and other mental health conditions. Subscribe if you're curious about how neuro-atypical brains can optimize their functioning in our shared, and somewhat strange, world.
Dr. Kruse has posted talks in both the "live" and the "video" sections of this channel. Thumbnails on ADHD topics have a pink background, and those on more general mental health topics have a purple background. A small collection of ADHD-Trump videos have an orange background.
