Doug’s Awesome Quote:

ADHD Anxieties
First, Doug says, there are basically two types of anxiety.
1) Stomach turning somersaults, a prelude to a panic attack
2) Worrying, ruminating
He and I also talk about the difference between anxiety in ADHD and how someone can have both ADHD and a comorbid anxiety disorder.
He shares his top 3 tips on how to manage anxiety as well as how they work for him.
