Anxiety is common among school-aged children, and those with ADHD are at higher risk for it than their peers. Children may be anxious because their attention deficit disorder makes life difficult, or they may have aggravated attention problems because of an underlying anxiety disorder. The importance of a proper evaluation to distinguish the primary diagnosis - anxiety or ADHD - is critical to managing symptoms as a child grows.
#adhdawareness
Here, pediatricians and authors Eileen Costello, M.D., and Perri Klass, M.D., discuss the high prevalence of anxiety disorders in children with ADHD and learning differences. Learn about ways that anxiety can precede and accompany these diagnoses as kids and families develop strategies to accommodate a world not designed with them in mind.
#adhdawareness means comorbidity awareness.
