Can depression and/or anxiety disorders cause behavior problems in children?
I’m posting this question, because when I was a child, I had some behavioral issues. I know that I had the symptoms of depression and anxiety back then, but I suspected that I had ADHD and that that was the cause of my problems. Indeed, a few years ago, I was formally diagnosed with ADHD by a counselor. However, a psychiatrist recently told me that she wasn’t convinced I had ADHD, and she told me that many of my problems stemmed from depression and anxiety.
