That's a really interesting observation. I have GAD and my job requires me to be hyper-alert/observant of behaviour disordered teenagers. That part comes naturally, but requires a lot of "empathic connecting".And I have to really think hard about the clerical/procedural aspects of my job and am always forgetting, so much stuff carried in my head all the time, can't pay attention to it, cuz I'm so concentrated on the kids.Brain fog results, along with anxiety. I'm always on alert.I agree that the anxiety could easily be a result having to try to attend so hard and remember.Sometimes I find myself sitting and not knowing why...but I've never considered myself to be ADD.
I too have found both Celexa and Buspar to make the attention even harder..both of which of course affect Serotonin receptors. Hmmmmmmm food for thought, something to raise with my Pdoc, next visit. Thanks!
