Executive functioning [your brain’s ability to plan, organise, regulate emotions, manage attention, solve problems, and adapt to change] shifts significantly across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

Alongside inattention, restlessness, or emotional overwhelm, there is often another layer quietly shaping their daily life: anxiety. Whether it shows up as constant worry, a racing mind at night, fear of making mistakes, or difficulty coping with uncertainty, anxiety frequently walks hand-in-hand with ADHD. In fact, research suggests that 30–50% of people with ADHD also meet criteria for an anxiety disorder.
