ADHD and anxiety often look the same on the surface.

Restlessness. Racing thoughts. Overwhelm. Trouble sleeping. Feeling “on edge.”

But underneath, they are driven by different brain patterns.

ADHD is primarily about executive functioning — difficulty regulating attention, organizing, shifting gears, and managing impulses.

Anxiety is about threat detection — a nervous system that stays on high alert, even when you’re safe.

Many people live with both. And when they overlap, it can feel like:
• A brain that won’t switch off
• Thoughts looping faster than you can catch them
• Feeling wired and exhausted at the same time
• Overanalyzing every interaction

The good news? When we correctly identify what’s driving the symptoms, treatment becomes clearer — and relief becomes possible.

If you live with ADHD and anxiety, what has helped you most?
