How to Tell if It's ADHD or Anxiety (Similarities, Differences and the Overlapping Symptoms)

Let's Talk About It with Lori Streator

Your brain might be working differently than you think or expect. In this episode, I'm discussing the differences between ADHD and anxiety - two conditions that look nearly identical on the surface but require different approaches.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• How ADHD and anxiety symptoms overlap
• The one simple question to ask yourself: "Is this boring or scary?" (and how the answer reveals what's really going on)
• How to tell if avoidance is ADHD-driven vs. Anxiety-driven
• The internal dialogue that occurs when women struggle with ADHD or Anxiety

Figuring out how your mind works will help you craft an approach that works for YOU. This episode will give you an understanding of the key differences but also how ADHD and Anxiety look similarly.
