Closely associated to each other, ADHD and anxiety have overlapping symptoms as well as treatments. Both these diseases have control issues and it is really difficult for the patient to have control over his or her own self and hence, it becomes difficult for other people to have control over them too. Both ADHD and anxiety can be eliminated by learning to relax the tendency toward obsessive control.
Every now and then people will ask about the origin of ADHD, anxiety, as well as panic attacks. Many sufferers say that they think they were born with it, and ask if it is true that it is genetic, and they have simply have been "this way"ever since they were infants. They seem to compare themselves with redheads, by asking if they were born "this way"just as if they are asking if they were born with red hair. This mentality leads them to believe that ADHD, anxiety and panic attacks cannot be treated and that nothing can be done about these problems, other than just living with them.
The short and simple answer is the question is no. You were not born with anxiety, even if you have a history of it in your family.
Some surveys and research studies have shown that particular families do have a tendency toward anxiety and to harbor symptoms indicating ADHD, suggesting that it is actually hereditary. However, it is important to keep in mind that this is just a "tendency"
Now, a "tendency" towards ADHD and anxiety does not imply that the person is bound to develop this problem or any another anxiety issue. Far from it!
If a person (sufferer) makes up his or her mind that he or she will not give in to these issues, neither ADHD nor anxiety (or any other emotional problem) will dominate their life. Suffering from these diseases is dependent upon your mindset, more than your willpower.
But consulting and seeking help from a good therapist and coach can make a big difference in the problems that you are facing. There are also many self help programs to eliminate the symptoms of ADHD or anxiety, even if you only have a "tendency" towards any of the conditions. These programs can help you to nip the problem in the bud.
The treatments for ADHD as well as anxiety are the same, with the difference lying only in what tag we give to it. We say that ADHD is a kind of anxiety problem, and like the all anxiety problems, the way to defeat it is by using the same techniques used for getting over anxiety.
It doesn't matter what you call it, or what you categorize it into. ADHD, anxiety and other emotional problems have one thing is common: the fact that none of these problems are a genetic "curse" that you don't have control over. With the correct coaching, exercises, methods, techniques and resources, all types of anxiety and anxiety-based issues (like ADHD) can be overcome.
