The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook

“Few (if any) books so compassionately and constructively address the common, under- addressed overlap between adult attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety. I imagine anyone living with ADHD will benefit from reading The Adult ADHD and Anxiety Workbook.”
—Mark Bertin, MD, author of Mindful Parenting for ADHD and Mindfulness and Self Compassion for Teen ADHD ~Mark Bertin, MD

Written by a man who understands ADHD deeply, as well as anxiety in its many forms. Artful in combining narrative with workbook exercises, this book will entertain you, educate you, and give you practical ways to design and enhance your life. A superb, helpful book written by one of the masters in the field.”

“J. Russell Ramsay has written a terrific workbook for individuals with adult ADHD—which is also valuable for family members, therapists, and others who want to help. People with ADHD tend to become very overwhelmed with the demands of everyday life. But the step-by-step process outlined in this workbook teaches you not only how to cope, but also how to motivate yourself to take each step.”
—Judith S. Beck, PhD, president of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and author of Cognitive Behavior Therapy ~Judith S. Beck, PhD

“This useful book does not provide simple general answers to get rid of anxiety. Instead, it invites the reader to personalize the text by writing into the workbook specific examples of ways their daily life with ADHD is currently complicated by various types of anxiety in different situations. Ramsay describes strategies and specific behaviors which can be useful gradually to reduce excessive anxiety despite the ‘consistent inconsistency’ of ADHD.”
—Thomas E. Brown, PhD, clinical professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine ~Thomas E. Brown, PhD

“Ramsay’s latest book is a much-needed guide full of important information about living with ADHD and anxiety, taking readers through an introspective and practical journey toward self-improvement. For anyone who has read other books on ADHD but were missing this crucial component—the connection between ADHD and anxiety—this book is for you!”
