201. What Does it Look Like to Have both OCD and ADHD? with Nikole Krueger, LCSW
Description
In this episode, Carrie welcomes a special guest, Nikole Krueger, LCSW, to explore the often-overlooked overlap between OCD and ADHD. They share practical tools and guidance for understanding your neurodiversity with clarity, compassion, and a Christ-centered sense of hope.
Episode Highlights:
How Nikole defines ADHD as attention dysregulation rather than a true “deficit” of attention, and what that looks like in everyday life.
How hyperactivity can show up on the outside or stay hidden on the inside, causing many people, especially women, to miss a diagnosis for years.
Why more adults are being diagnosed with ADHD later in life
How trauma, depression, sleep issues, and other conditions can mimic or overlap with ADHD and OCD, making accurate diagnosis more complex.
The ways OCD and perfectionism can mask ADHD symptoms
What evidence-based assessment and treatment can look like when someone has both OCD and ADHD
