Anxiety and ADHD

Struggling with anxiety, ADHD, or both? You’re not alone.

Nearly 50% of people with ADHD also have anxiety, yet many don’t realize they can have both. Symptoms can often overlap, making it essential to get a professional diagnosis to ensure the most effective treatment plan.

Anxiety isn’t just stress—it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and uncertain about the future. If you have ADHD, anxiety symptoms can feel even more intense. That’s why compassionate, expert care is essential in finding your path forward.

Our process begins with a comprehensive online assessment that identifies your specific symptoms and how they impact your life. A doctorate-level psychologist then provides a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. You can receive treatment from our expert clinicians in 41 states or take your results to your provider for next steps.

Get started today. Your path to understanding and managing your mental health begins with our assessment.

Top 5 things to know about Anxiety and ADHD

Nearly 50% of people with ADHD also have anxiety. Because symptoms overlap, an accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

You can have both ADHD and anxiety. Many people assume it’s one or the other, but they share common symptoms and influence each other.

Anxiety symptoms may be more pronounced in those who are neurodiverse. Managing co-occurring conditions requires a tailored approach.

Both ADHD and anxiety can make it hard to stay focused. With anxiety, your mind gets pulled into worry and overthinking. With ADHD, distractions come from anything and everything around you.

Having both ADHD and anxiety symptoms can be clinically managed together. Addressing both disorders as part of an overall treatment plan can lead to better outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about stimulant or non-stimulant medication?

These terms refer to certain approaches to treat diagnosed ADHD. Mentavi Health / ADHD Online may provide stimulant approaches (certain medications under medical treatment that are generally considered Class II controlled substances) or non-stimulant approaches (medications generally not considered Class II, and/or therapy and coaching not related to medication).

A diagnosis and initial conversation with our treatment clinicians is key to the best path for you. The diagnosis is a key first step to determine if you have ADHD or other related conditions. Approximately 60% of patients with ADHD have co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression, for example. At the same time, patients who believe they have ADHD may not even have it. For those who do, there can be a variety of considerations into what kind of treatment works best to meet the patient where they’re at.

If you are not feeling right, your journey starts with the first step of diagnostic evaluation.

There may be a brief delay in service today between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM ET. Thank you for your patience — we look forward to assisting you shortly.
