About the show

Is It ADHD or Anxiety? is a podcast built from Book 4 of the Tell Them Apart series , a set of eight books that help neurodivergent adults separate experiences that feel identical but call for completely different handling. This show takes on the most commonly confused pairing of the set: ADHD and anxiety. Get the complete book here: https://amzn.to/45A4Smy Episode by episode, we work through a practical method for reading your own experience as it happens: the calm-mind test, how to read your restlessness, sorting two kinds of racing thoughts, telling an executive wall from a fear wall, and a three-question real-time decoder you can run in about thirty seconds. Later episodes cover what to do when it's both, why your anxiety tools keep backfiring, medication and sequencing conversations, getting an assessment that sees both engines, and building a life that serves the brain you actually have.
