    No, they’re just sibling problems. Anxiety is a sibling to many disorders. Some people have ADHD and it’s purely a focus thing, and some people have severe anxiety to where they’re focused on worry more than the topic, but confuse the inattentiveness for ADHD because they think they can logically explain the worry.
