Q: How does ADHD impact mental health, such as anxiety and depression?

When ADHD makes tasks harder than they should be, it can lead to frustration and self-doubt. Some people develop anxiety because they fear repeating past mistakes, even when they’re giving their best effort. Others may experience depression when the cycle of setbacks makes them feel like they’ll never overcome their struggles. But ADHD doesn’t mean things can’t improve—understanding how it affects you and finding the right strategies can lead to real, lasting change.

Q: Are there any natural remedies for anxiety?

Working with a mental health nutritionist can provide personalized support, and at Lifegrowth, we offer specialists who can guide you toward a more peaceful and confident mindset.

Q: Is anxiety treatable with therapy, medication, or both?

Medications don’t cure anxiety, and in some cases, they can make people feel dependent on them. The best treatment helps you build lasting coping skills so that anxiety stops controlling your life.
