'The person with ADHD may wake up and find that life is good. However, contentment is not riveting. So he scans the horizon looking for something to worry about. Once he finds an object of worry, it pierces his mind like a dagger.' drhallowell
Approximately 25 to 40 percent of adults with ADHD also have an anxiety disorder, perhaps because ADHD can give a person a lot to worry about. ADHD often causes a person to lose track of time, cause offense without meaning to, or hyperfocus on a minor worry.First, let’s distinguish between worry and anxiety. Worry has a target; one worries about something. Anxiety is usually free-floating, with no clear source or direction.
Attention deficit gives a person a lot to worry about. ADHD often leads a person astray, down blind alleys, or on wild goose chases. It causes a person to lose track of time and, suddenly, in a panic, get things done in an hour that might have taken a week. ADHD often induces a person to misspeak or to make an offensive or misleading remark without meaning to.
There are other sources of worry and anxiety, and both can bring on anxiety disorders, including phobias,, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder , post-traumatic stress disorder , and more. A little worry is healthy. We all need it. But when worry careens out of control, it is paralyzing. When worry paralyzes a person, it leads to loss of perspective, irrational thinking, and poor judgment. For full-blown anxiety disorders, one should consult a psychiatrist or other professional.
