Common Questions and Answers about Adhd symptoms anxiety

adhd

Avatar f tn Yes, anxiety can mimic ADHD. When your anxiety is lessened, so will your symptoms which mimic ADHD. Our child suffers from severe anxiety and her teacher thought that she also suffered from ADD/ADHD. But, when the anxiety was lessened, so too were the symptoms similar to hyperactivity. Often anxiety is co-morbid with depression - sounds as if you found someone who understands anxiety issues.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm 18 years old I've been having anxiety since I turned 16. I have ADHD and so does my dad he's constantly yelling and driving me more crazy. I need people's opinions in June I performed oral sex for the first time with this guy I've known for 5 years, he had bronchitis and was on antibiotics I developed symptoms right away thinking I had an STD I got tested 6 days later and it came out negative but I still kept thinking I had something.
1543592 tn?1293386614 new to the site... experience anxiety and depression often... also diagnosed ADHD *** well so I am not sure if they are related? ... anyways.. I have just been getting this odd feeling lately that I am just going to die.. I am not suicidal in ANY form but It's constantly in the back of my head.. does this happen to any else?
Avatar f tn Yes, absolutely. Actually, a person with ADHD is more likely to experience some type of anxiety or depression because they are hyperactive. No worries if you do have anxiety though, however. You just need to keep it under control, which might be hard considering you have ADHD. If you feel like you may have anxiety and cannot keep it under control, it would be best to consult a therapist or maybe a doctor for some medication.
Avatar f tn My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD can anyone tell me if alcohol triggers angry outburst, impulsive behavior and ADHD symptoms? I use to blame it on the ADHD but I think she may be an alcoholic as well. She gets violent during her drinking bindges and has blackouts while she's awake, stays up for hours giving people around her plain ole hell.
Avatar f tn I have depression anxiety bipolar and now they have diagnosed me with adhd, everything really finally makes sense for the years and years my life has been a revolving door. I just feel alone and lost, people that don't have these issues have no idea the daily demons you have to face, is there anybody else out there?
Avatar n tn I'm hoping someone here can help, perhaps a Ph.D. or someone with knowledge/experience of medicines-- I have been diagnosed ADHD since I was a little kid (early grade school) and diagnosed with social anxiety at 17yrs old (towards the end of high school). I've been on and off multiple medicines for both (I've been on 5-10 different drugs; see my personal feedback below on some of the meds if you are interested in that information). I also very much think I have OCD.
Avatar f tn I am glad your doctor realized that anxiety is a very common co-disorder with ADHD (usually caused by the ADHD). I do hope that you also learn coping mechanisms for the anxiety - if the ADHD is now under control, you should find it much easier to do so (won't happen over night though). Hopefully, with your ADHD under a certain degree of control, many of the situations that have caused you anxiety will lessen.
Avatar f tn You have received good information and some contradictory recommendations. the medication your daughter is taking is a stimulant and a stimulant can increase anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms are the child's way of trying to cope with the added load of anxiety. I suggest that you try to see a child psychiatrist to help you sort out the best course of action.

Avatar f tn I realize it’s most likely whatever symptoms depression and anxiety are described as. This depression/anxiety has been worsened due to choices INCLUDING and not limited to the described ADHD medications. I say it like that because I felt as ****** without the medications as I did with them. Also as described, without anything, I feel A DIFFERENT FEELING OF ******. In other terms, I feel different symptoms of depression and anxiousness.
383943 tn?1217722721 They need to prioritize whether to treat the ADHD or the anxiety first. By correcting one, the other symptoms might improve.
1248235 tn?1268881737 Obviously I was hesitant because I did not believe I had ADHD and knew that if I did It would not cause me to have Panic/Anxiety Attacks... So it does all depend on your symtoms and how you are feeling. I personally knew I had Anxiety by putting all my strange symtoms together, you know yourself best. So do your reseach on Anxiety and you will know, trust me.

Avatar m tn OCD is one of the anxiety disorders - just wondering - could it be possible that the ADHD is a misdiagnosis? You might want to ask your son's doctor about this. By the way, sensory issues are often co-morbid with anxiety issues so that point was expected. Anyway, just a remote possibility ....
Avatar m tn I am really gald to see athat you are concerned aboaut your health, but wow, lot of really technical stuff here - and we aren't doctors. My thought is that you are downplaying what anxiety can do to you. You said, "i've switched to the Tropol(lowers my heart rate & palpitations which is where the anxiety would stem from." In my opinion, anxiety could cause the palpitations/heart rate problem, not the reverse.
2211548 tn?1659383531 ve been treated for the past 4 years with different prescriptions. But what I currently take has done me the best. treating the anxiety helped my ADHD in ways but I still deal with impulsiveness, inattentiveness, the drive to move around & do something, difficulty with communicating because I tend to stop listening/ get distracted while being talked to. Which is hard because the further I get pulled into this stigma that it's just an excuse.

Avatar f tn Patients with POTS (n=21), ADHD (n=18) and normal control subjects (n=20) were assessed for DSM-IV psychiatric disorders and completed a battery of questionnaires that assessed depression, anxiety and ADHD characteristics. Results: • Patients with POTS did not have an increased prevalence of major depression or anxiety disorders, including panic disorder, compared to the general population. Patients with POTS had mild depression.
Avatar f tn I am having bad anxiety and have lorezepam 2mg or zanax 1 mg. It is going into anxity attacks and panic attacks I also have bipolar, adhd and Ptsd. On CARBEMAZAPINE for bipolar and dextroamphtemine for adhd I need to stop the anxiety as fast as possible but don't want a lot of side affects and I do want the calm to par a while. Please advise me can't get ahold of psychiatrist til Monday.
Avatar f tn I will say that kids with adhd can have several anxiety about school (due to their adhd) and this can manifest itself in many ways. His eating habits are a bit unusual. However, one of the prime symptoms of adhd is acting without thinking (which the correct dose of medication can really help). And, of course, anxiety can cause all kinds of unusual eating habits. So I think that you need to spend your time researching adhd (I can help with this) and working with your school.
Avatar m tn By the way, I have seen several studies that show that sleep apnea can produce ADHD like symptoms. In fact, there have been several posters on here that have had sleep apnea, been treated and their daytime behaviors definitely changed. Has anybody ever commented about you snoring or breathing loud at night? "Regardless of type, an individual with sleep apnea is rarely aware of having difficulty breathing, even upon awakening.
Avatar f tn We have not tried natural remedies or serious diet changes as much change causes more anxiety, but worth looking into. Also, to (RockRose)Not sure how adhd and anxiety "disagree" with each other, Maybe I am not sure what you mean. i just don't think that it is too common to have both diagnosis so early. Just because someone is extremely hyper and has difficulty focusing, doesn;t mean that they cannot have anxiety.
