The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Skills to Manage Stress, Find Focus, and Reclaim Your Life - Paperback

by J. Russell Ramsay (Author), Ari Tuckman (Foreword by)

Struggling with adult ADHD and anxiety? You're not alone--and you don't have to treat them separately.

If you have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you may struggle with focus, follow-through, emotional regulation, and rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD). Add anxiety--constant worry, tension, or overthinking--and everyday life can feel overwhelming. It's no surprise that adults with ADHD are twice as likely to experience anxiety disorders.

Treating just one condition often isn't enough. You need a unified, practical approach designed specifically for the overlap between ADHD and anxiety.

In The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook, psychologist and ADHD expert Russell Ramsay presents an evidence-based program grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)--the gold standard treatment for anxiety--adapted specifically for adults with ADHD. This structured workbook provides step-by-step strategies to help you manage both conditions at the same time.

In this workbook, you'll learn how to:

• Understand the connection between ADHD symptoms and anxiety
• Manage worry, rumination, and chronic stress
• Improve focus and follow-through without increasing pressure
• Reduce rejection sensitivity and emotional reactivity
• Break patterns of avoidance and procrastination
• Build practical coping skills you can apply in daily life

Each chapter includes guided exercises, self-reflection tools, and skill-building activities designed to help you move from overwhelm to confidence and clarity.

If you're an adult with ADHD who also struggles with anxiety, this workbook offers a clear, research-backed path toward improved focus, reduced worry, and lasting peace of mind.
