ADHD and Anxiety (Our Journey with ADHD Segment 3)

Anxiety issues as well as depression and learning problems tend to coexist with ADHD. Some children, however, are incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD when in fact they have an anxiety disorder. Other children have both symptoms of anxiety disorder and ADHD but the medications for one can actually cause more harm than good.

Any treatment option for a child with ADHD needs to look at the child holistically and make sure that all factors are taken into account and monitored.
