A member asked:
I'd it possible to be diagnosed with anxiety but really have adhd or is it possible to have both and also can family doctors treat either one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes!: You can have anxiety due to the symptoms of ADHD affecting your ability to function on a day to day basis and you can have both ADHD AND anxiety. A family doctor may want to get an opinion from a psychologist before treating but once a decision is made to treat the FP can certainly carry on from there.
