Re: could Anxiety disorder cause ADD like symptoms?

[Anonymous]

Funnily I’ve figured out how anxiety can contribute to several symptoms, like the unabilty to start projects, and why I’m always late. But still not sure how it would affect my focus on people talking to me (I zone out often), the clutter that I live with, or even putting mundane (not anxious) things off that need to be done until its critical.

I am aware of the comorbidity (I hate that word, it is so morbid), so I know I could have both, unfortunately the anxiety (and past experience) doesn’t encourage taking medication.

For full disclosure, on the virtual Dr. Test I scored 9/9 on inatentive, and 6/9 on restlesness/impulsive (mostly impulsive).

I was concerned the “assessment” wasn’t thorough enough. I guess that’s what you get through OHIP. Maybe I need a new doctor.
