[quote=Anonymous]"Overthinking" can be anxiety, but it can also result from ADHD. ADHD is often described as a brain with a Ferrari engine and bicycle brakes. Therefore the ADHD brain is constantly thinking and can cause anxiety. If you have real concerns, you should have your child fully evaluated by a clinical professional to help navigate whether anxiety or ADHD is driving any problematic thinking and actions. As for the impact of ADHD (and ADHD meds) on sports, it varies by sport. I can say that getting our son's ADHD diagnosed and treated helped him in his sport, but that was in large part because it reduced the overall impact of ADHD on his entire life. It helped spare him enough mental energy (and at least some of the extra time he always needed to keep up with school work) so that he could continue his sport at higher levels as he got older.
