[quote=Anonymous]I brought up the ADHD as an example of what may cause the anxiety. Anxiety and ADHD can effect executive functioning: https://www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/executive-functioning-issues/key-executive-functioning-skills-explained Trouble with impulse and emotional control can cause kids to do things like skin picking b/c they feel anxiety and try a coping mechanism (which can become habitual). The chronic worrying is related to inflexible thinking. They get fixated on something--like a doctor's appointment and have a hard time thinking of a plan to cope with their anxiety, so they bring up the doctor's appointment again and again months in advance.
