Re: Can adult ADHD/ADD contribute to anxiety?
Hi, this is an older thread I know but I've just been googling all this.
I'm diagnosed with anxiety but I've wondered for a VERY long time if I might have ADHD. My daughters have just raised it with me and one ofthem is a post-Doc neuroscientist so I respect her views! I've looked at some reputable sites and it certainly isn't impossible that I have it, but I can't afford tests so I may never have the 'magic diagnosis' - in a way that doesn't matter as the possibility of the label is enough to prompt me to find strategies. Many of which I must have discovered, to get this far. My daughter says CBT is very helpful usually...
It seems there is very often an accompanying, presenting MH issue. Come to think of that, I knew from my work with kids that things tend to 'cluster' (like Dyspraxia and ADHD etc).
I'm just here to find out if there is an ADHD forum on NMP. If not, perhaps we need one!
