ADHD and Anxiety Comorbidity: Impact on Attention Span

Studies suggest that children and adolescents with comorbid ADHD and anxiety are more likely to experience certain symptoms involving inattention than those with just ADHD. For instance, they are more likely to daydream, have slower response times, and become confused more easily. They may also have more difficulty staying on task and have a hard time not responding to distractions in their environment.
