ADHD & Anxiety in Toronto: Combined Support Strategies

Living with both ADHD and anxiety can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. At our North York clinic, we regularly support adults and youth who experience both conditions, helping them thrive with compassionate, evidence-based care. If you or a loved one are navigating these challenges, Toronto offers tailored resources and strategies to help you find relief and build resilience.

Understanding ADHD and Anxiety: Common Overlaps

ADHD and anxiety often occur together. Many people in Toronto discover that symptoms—like restlessness, trouble focusing, racing thoughts, and irritability—can overlap, making each condition harder to manage. Recognizing where ADHD ends and anxiety begins can be complex. A professional assessment is key for clarity, allowing for individualized support. Learn more about ADHD from CAMH.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Combined ADHD and Anxiety

Effective support in Toronto blends strategies that account for both conditions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and structured routines are highly recommended. Medication may also play a role, guided by psychiatric expertise. Our North York clinic helps clients co-create plans integrating coping tools for worry, attention regulation, and emotional balance.

Local Resources for ADHD and Anxiety Care

Toronto is rich with resources—support groups, specialized counsellors, and medical professionals like psychiatrists. North York offers accessible clinics (including ours) where you can start assessments for ADHD, anxiety, or both. Telehealth options and community workshops help reduce barriers for busy families and adults.

Practical Tips for Everyday Coping in North York

• Use reminders, planners, and digital tools to manage tasks and reduce stress triggers.
• Practice self-compassion—set reasonable expectations, and allow time for rest.
• Connect with peers or groups who understand dual diagnoses.
• Regular movement outdoors in Toronto’s parks can ease anxiety and improve focus.
