ADHD and Anxiety Comorbidity: The Impact of ADHD Behaviors on the Effectiveness of CBT
- Memory deficit as a result of ADHD may make it more difficult for an individual with comorbid anxiety to correct negative thinking. It may also take longer to establish patterns of positive self talk and for it to have an effect.
- Patients, especially children, may also struggle to complete work that is necessary outside of their therapy sessions. Therapists often give their patient's 'assignments' to work on before their next session in order to continue to reinforce what is being accomplished during therapy. However, patients with ADHD may not complete these assignments on their own.
