Is social anxiety a big part of your ADHD?

By Kate Moryoussef

Social anxiety can be a prevalent part of ADHD, yet we often don't understand or spot how it shows up. By seeing and validating it for what it is, we can help ourselves with more awareness and discover empowering everyday tools.

This week’s guest is Mita Mistry, a columnist, mindfulness-based cognitive therapist, acupuncturist and author. Her book How to Understand and Deal with Social Anxiety is aimed at raising awareness and helping people deal with social anxiety.

During this episode, Kate and Mita spoke about:
