Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention (such as difficulty sustaining focus, disorganization, and forgetfulness) and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity (including restlessness, excessive talking, and difficulty waiting turns).

 

Anxiety, on the other hand, is an excessive and persistent feeling of worry, fear, or apprehension, manifesting through emotional symptoms like intrusive thoughts, dread, and physical symptoms such as a rapid heart rate, muscle tension, and avoidance behaviors. Both conditions frequently co-occur, with the internal restlessness of ADHD often fueling heightened anxiety.

 

Recognizing common symptoms—like emotional hyperarousal, difficulty with executive functions for ADHD, or chronic worry and avoidance for anxiety—is the first crucial step toward effective self-management.
