[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your Mom? Extreme anxiety is not a symptom of ADHD. You can have co-morbidities, of ADHD and General Anxiety. But often ADHD medication can make Anxiety worse. If she is having executive function issues (the hallmark of ADHD) and also having anxiety, she could have fronto-temporal dementia. It tends to have psychiatric symptoms prior to major memory issues. [/quote] Thank you, she is 80. Recently passed a dementia test but I hear what you are saying. Yes, concerned ADHD meds would exacerbate anxiety but her executive functioning is extremely poor and so far anti depressants are not helping so wondering what other medications might complement.[/quote]
