Believe me, anxiety is not in any way an opposite of ADD. More like its best friend. My anxiety and ADD are completely intertwined. It's hard not to constantly be worried, alert and scared when it seems your brain works in a totally different way than 90% of adults you meet and most have no earthly idea what you mean when you try to explain your difficulties.
Most adults with ADD have a comorbid condition - depression and anxiety being the winners of the popularity contest. I think most studies say it's well over 70%, but that's from memory from a long time ago...
I don't recall ever meeting, in person or online, anyone with ADD who was not unusually anxious, actually.
MDD (presently in complete remission); ADD-Inattentive type; mild anxiety (not fomally dx'd)
