#163: Is It ADHD, Anxiety, or Both?

The Childhood Collective

8/28/2024

SUMMARY

Difficulty getting started on a task. Working very slowly during a math test. Difficulty falling asleep at night. Are you ready for a pop quiz?? Here it is: Do these examples make you think of ADHD, or anxiety? What if we told you that they could be either one... or both? The truth is, many times these diagnoses can look similar on the surface. But they are very different, and need different types of support! Today, Lori and Mallory are sharing about the overlap and differences between ADHD and anxiety from the perspective of two child psychologists.

MEET OUR TEAM

We are Lori, Mallory, and Katie. Lori and Mallory are child psychologists, and Katie is a speech language pathologist. Most importantly, we are moms, just like you. After working with families over a combined total of 40 years, we saw a need to provide ongoing support and education to parents raising children with ADHD.

SUMMARY

On this ADHD parenting journey, it is SO important to have friends who understand your journey! For us, Amy Marie Hann of @activatedadhdmama has been that person. As an ADHD parent herself, Amy is relatable, honest, and full of practical ideas to make life easier for ADHD families. As we transition back into the school year, we asked Amy to share how she tweaks her systems for every season. This is the perfect episode for you if you find yourself signing up for *way* too many activities, getting bored with everyday chores, or struggling to manage your home life.

MEET AMY

Amy is the creator of Master the Mundane, a unique online course + community that empowers moms with ADHD to manage their home and family in a way that works for their brain. ADHD has touched every area of her life. She herself was diagnosed at the age of 5 and her three kids, husband, dad, and sister are also ADHD. She’s also fostered, adopted and homeschooled kids with ADHD and brings a wealth of personal experience, authenticity and relatability to everything she creates. She believes that the ADHD brain is uniquely created to bring good to the world and the best thing we can do as moms of ADHD kids is to model what it looks like to thrive with ADHD. She’s a loud laugher, avid reader, and workout enthusiast with a mild obsession with HGTV.
