Episode Title: Understanding ADHD & Anxiety with Dr. Marcy Caldwell, Part I

Like Sully from the Pixar movie "Monsters, Inc", anxiety can be the monster in the closet. What is anxiety? Maybe more importantly, how does it show up in a person's life? Join us as clinical psychologist and ADHD advocate Dr. Marcy Caldwell talks all about anxiety and then helps explain why anxiety can be a bigger concern for a person with ADHD and the role our big feelings can play in that.

• Marcy Caldwell, Psy.D., is the founder of ADDept.org, a blog and digital resource that promotes science-backed-but-still-approachable strategies for adults with ADHD. She is also the founder & supervising psychologist of Rittenhouse Psychological Services, a Philadelphia-based boutique practice focused on helping adults thrive while living with ADHD. Prior to that she served as the senior assessment supervisor at Tuttleman Counseling Services at Temple University and was a lecturing professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
