by Daniel G. Amen

7: Anxious ADD ADD core symptoms plus: Frequently anxious or nervous Physical stress symptoms, such as headaches Tends to freeze in social situations Dislikes or gets excessively nervous speaking in public Predicts the worst Conflict avoidant Fear of being judged Over the last thirteen years, I have noticed more and more the combination of ADD and anxiety symptoms running together; and when they do, the ADD symptoms become magnified. In looking at our large dataset of patients, it is very common to see the core ADD symptoms plus fear of being judged, predicting the worst, being conflict avoidant, and having physical stress symptoms, such as headaches and stomachaches. In addition, people with this type tend to freeze in anxiety-provoking situations, especially where they may be judged, such as in test taking.
