Struggling with adult ADHD and anxiety? You're not alone--and you don't have to treat them separately.
If you have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you may struggle with focus, follow-through, emotional regulation, and rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD). Add anxiety--constant worry, tension, or overthinking--and everyday life can feel overwhelming. It's no surprise that adults with ADHD are twice as likely to experience anxiety disorders.
Treating just one condition often isn't enough. You need a unified, practical approach designed specifically for the overlap between ADHD and anxiety.
In The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook, psychologist and ADHD expert Russell Ramsay presents an evidence-based program grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)--the gold standard treatment for anxiety--adapted specifically for adults with ADHD. This structured workbook provides step-by-step strategies to help you manage both conditions at the same time.
In this workbook, you'll learn how to:
- Understand the connection between ADHD symptoms and anxiety
- Manage worry, rumination, and chronic stress
- Improve focus and follow-through without increasing pressure
- Reduce rejection sensitivity and emotional reactivity
- Break patterns of avoidance and procrastination
- Build practical coping skills you can apply in daily life
Each chapter includes guided exercises, self-reflection tools, and skill-building activities designed to help you move from overwhelm to confidence and clarity.
If you're an adult with ADHD who also struggles with anxiety, this workbook offers a clear, research-backed path toward improved focus, reduced worry, and lasting peace of mind.
