ADHD & Anxiety

Send us Fan MailMany adults struggle to understand whether their symptoms point to ADHD, anxiety, or a combination of both. Difficulty focusing, racing thoughts, restlessness, overwhelm, and trouble getting things done can all show up in both conditions which is why distinguishing between them is not always straightforward.In this episode of Thriving with ADHD, Nada sits down with Carolyn 'Callie' Kundert, PA-C at Animo Sano Psychiatry to unpack the complex relationship between ADHD and anxiety. Together, they explore why anxiety is often diagnosed first, how ADHD can sometimes be overlooked or masked, and how clinicians work to tell the difference between the two conditions.Callie also explains: Common symptoms shared by ADHD and anxiety  Why untreated ADHD can contribute to anxiety over time  How ADHD and anxiety can interact and reinforce each other  What clinicians look for during assessment  Differences in treatment approaches for ADHD, anxiety, or both conditions together  Why getting evaluated by a trained professional matters This episode offers practical insight, validation, and hope for anyone trying to better understand their mental health and the way their brain works.Whether you’ve been diagnosed, are exploring your symptoms, or simply want to learn more, this conversation helps clarify one of the most common areas of confusion in adult mental health.For more information about Animo Sano Psychiatry, visit our website.Thank you for listening to Thriving with ADHD.
