#163: Is It ADHD, Anxiety, or Both?

from Shining With ADHD by The Childhood Collective · host The Childhood Collective

Difficulty getting started on a task. Working very slowly during a math test. Difficulty falling asleep at night. Are you ready for a pop quiz?? Here it is: Do these examples make you think of ADHD, or anxiety? What if we told you that they could be either one... or both? The truth is, many times these diagnoses can look similar on the surface. But they are very different, and need different types of support! Today, Lori and Mallory are sharing about the overlap and differences between ADHD and anxiety from the perspective of two child psychologists. MEET OUR TEAMWe are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. We’ve spent decades supporting thousands of families navigating ADHD. And we’re also moms: some of us raising kids with ADHD and some of us navigating it ourselves… which means we understand both the science and the real-life moments that don’t make it into textbooks.LINKS + RESOURCESEpisode #132: Building Resilience: Supporting Kids with ADHD + AnxietyEpisode #153: Understanding ADHD in Girls with Psychologist Dr. Stephen HinshawEpisode #163 TranscriptThe Childhood Collective InstagramHave a question or want to share some thoughts?
