Can ADHD and Anxiety Be Treated Together?

It often feels like your brain has two speeds. One part wants to move a million miles an hour, while the other part is frozen in fear. You are not lazy or broken for feeling this way. This is a common battle for many brilliant people.

What is it?

Treating ADHD and anxiety at the same time is called a combined approach. It means addressing the focus issues and the fear signals at once. These two conditions often live together and can actually make each other feel worse.

Signs & Symptoms

Feeling restless but too overwhelmed to start any task
Constant worrying about things you might have forgotten
A racing heart when your to-do list gets too long
Difficulty sleeping because your mind will not shut off

Why does this happen?

Your prefrontal cortex handles focus. In ADHD, this area struggles to regulate signals. Your amygdala is the brain's alarm system. When your focus slips, the amygdala panics. It sends out stress chemicals like cortisol, which creates a loop of fear and distraction.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

Pause and Breathe

2m

Stop what you are doing and take three slow breaths to calm your alarm system.

2

Write It Down

5m

Put every single worry on a piece of paper to get it out of your head.

3

Pick One Small Thing

5m

Choose the easiest task on your list and do only that for five minutes.

Stop fighting your brain.
