Why is anxiety and ADHD more connected than we think?
Because I honestly had no idea how deeply connected ADHD and anxiety actually are. And even more surprising, some of the habits that my kids and I have that I thought were just like these weird little quirks, turns out, nope. Not weird at all. They were actually textbook anxiety and ADHD symptoms. Nail biting, skin picking, constantly fidgeting, procrastinating all the time, overthinking, feeling paralyzed by your own brain, frustrated that you want to change, but you just can't seem to. If any of this sounds familiar, you need to hear this conversation today. And if you're not dealing with anxiety or ADHD, I guarantee you someone that you love is. So today what I've done is I've pulled some serious strings to bring in one of the top psychiatrists with over 25 years of clinical experience specializing in ADHD and anxiety. She's so busy, you'd never be able to even book an appointment with her. And she also happens to have 2 million YouTube subscribers, making her one of the biggest mental health and wellness channels online today.
She took a break from her busy schedule to hop on a plane and fly to our Boston studios today for one reason. She is here for you.
