ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder is a condition that affects millions of children in the United States. It can cause a person to be restless, have a short attention span and have trouble concentrating in class. In 2016, the CDC estimated that around 6.1 million children in the United States from the ages of 2-17 showed clear signs of ADHD.
Hypnosis has been shown to help treat subconscious anxiety. While both anxiety and ADHD may manifest in similar ways, in that both conditions cause irritability, restlessness and an inability to concentrate, they are both different from one another. Here’s the link between ADHD and anxiety and how you can overcome it.
How do you tell ADHD and anxiety apart?
It’s important to get a medical evaluation instead of self-diagnosing your condition. However, there are some indicators that can tell you whether you have ADHD or anxiety.
In ADHD, you find it challenging to concentrate at all times, whereas in anxiety, your ability to concentrate is compromised only in situations that trigger your anxiety. However, it is also possible for people to have both ADHD and anxiety, which is called comorbidity. Having anxiety with ADHD can make it even more difficult for the person to concentrate or complete given tasks.
Dealing with ADHD and anxiety together
Anxiety isn’t just a benign disorder when someone occasionally worries or has trouble concentrating. It can seriously affect your relationships, your work and even your sleep. Managing ADHD and anxiety together is even more of a challenge. Around half of adults with ADHD also have anxiety.
It’s important to understand that ADHD is not classified as an anxiety disorder. Anxiety causes feelings of nervousness and fear, while a lack of focus and concentration is symptomatic of ADHD.
How treat ADHD and anxiety
Some treatments that have been shown to effectively treat both ADHD and anxiety are cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques and prescription medicine. Many people find that their anxiety is brought under control with the help of meditation and deep breathing exercises.
Always consult your doctor before taking medication for either ADHD or anxiety.
