Anxiety, ADHD and Narcissistic Abuse: What's the connection?


Listen Later

If you have ever been in a relationship with a narcissist, you know that one of the side-effects is a crippling kind of anxiety - one that makes you stop talking to the people you once felt closest to and focus only on the narcissist's needs/wants/manipulative games.
BUT did you know that anxiety can also affect your attention span? As it turns out, you might even have developed a case of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It's true - researchers have found that there is a link between these conditions.
If you have anxiety, then you're more likely to have attention disorders. Researchers believe there is a brain connection between them. Initial studies on teens reveal that they're more likely to have both issues together.
If you have anxiety or trouble concentrating, it might be a direct result of your relationship with a toxic narcissist. I'll fill you in on the research and explain the connection in this video.
Did you know there's a connection between ADHD and toxic-relationship-induced anxiety? Share your thoughts experiences and ideas in the comments section and let's discuss it.
