Treatment of Comorbid Adult Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder: 2 Case Reports

In this report, we present 1 case in which we treated adult ADHD first and 1 case in which we treated generalized anxiety disorder before prescribing any medication for ADHD. More studies are required on this topic, but our results suggest that treating anxiety disorders until a clear reduction of anxiety symptoms is observed, or at least taking a combined treatment approach, is more appropriate than treating adult ADHD alone and waiting for a reduction in anxiety symptoms as a secondary effect.
