Sometimes I think I might have ADD but then I think it's just constant anxiety that interferes with my ability to concentrate. How do you know the difference?
I've had underlying anxiety all my life stemming from events in my early childhood.
I don't have panic attacks or insomnia or anything, though. It's more like a dread of the future that wears away at me, and avoidance of some situations and people.
I end up not doing a lot that I should do because of it.
Should I treat this as ADD or anxiety?
I've wondered if it's ADD because I know that if I could just focus on one task at a time I could get things done--but I have trouble doing that.
If it's anxiety, what meds would be good?
