It's common for symptoms of ADHD and Anxiety Disorder to overlap. Both can cause restlessness, difficulty focusing, and constant worry. A professional evaluation is essential to distinguish between the two. In the meantime, try practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness to help manage your symptoms.

I used to have similar concerns. Turns out, I had both ADHD and Anxiety Disorder. Once I started treating both, I noticed a significant improvement in my daily functioning. Remember, it's possible to have multiple conditions, so don't rule out that possibility.

Stress management and coping strategies can be beneficial regardless of whether you have ADHD or Anxiety Disorder. Exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep can all help reduce symptoms. Also, consider reaching out to a support group for additional guidance and encouragement.
