I assume if you had some sort of agenda where you wanted fewer people diagnosed with ADHD you could probably swap the dx to anxiety in a lot of cases pretty easily.
Oh definitely, that is what doctors will do instead of trying to get the real diagnosis or venture into an area they may not be strong in. Besides, it is easier to diagnose anxiety and depression. It is easier to just label someone as anxiety or depression. That is why it is important to be proactive about your own care.
