You’re Wrong About ADHD, No You Are! - ADHD and Anxiety: Why Your Brain Won’t Switch Off (and How to Calm It)

This week, Sam and Katie dive into one of the most common- and misunderstood- ADHD experiences: anxiety. Why do ADHD brains so often run in overdrive, even when there’s nothing to panic about? And what’s really going on beneath that constant sense of “what if?”
They’re joined by clinical psychologist Dr Sharon Saline who specialises in ADHD and anxiety. Together they unpack why ADHD minds can be hardwired for hypervigilance, how childhood criticism can shape lifelong worry patterns, and why so many of us rely on last-minute panic to get things done.
From procrastination and emotional flooding to mindfulness and self-compassion, this is a thoughtful, practical conversation about understanding your anxiety instead of fighting it- and how to turn it into a tool for curiosity, resilience, and growth.
New episodes of You're Wrong About ADHD are available every Wednesday and Friday. Got a question or story for the team? Send it to ADHDpodcast@global.com. You’re Wrong About ADHD is made in association with APX Content Ventures.
