[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 205320, member: 2423"] According to a 2005 New England Journal of Medicine article, the symptoms of anxiety that overlap with ADHD are poor attention, fidgetiness, difficulty with transitions and physical reactivity to stimuli. The symtpoms of anxiety that are not characteristic of ADHD are excessive worries, fearfulness, obsessions/compulsions and nightmares. The diagnostic problem for mental health professionals trying to sort out what is anxiety and what is ADHD is that anxiety can be a source of high activity and inattention. In all honesty, you need a good neuropsychologist to sort it out for you. [/QUOTE]
