Hi Dr. Sarkis, thank you for doing this and being an advocate for mental health! I would describe myself as a "type A" personality with a lot of anxiety (diagnosed with GAD and a phobia). On the other hand, my SO of three years is super laid back with diagnosed ADHD. Normally we complement each other nicely, but sometimes we clash (getting to things on time, procrastination, lack of motivation... all issues rooted in ADHD that I've never personally experienced and have a hard time understanding). I love him so much, so do you have any tips for how to manage a relationship where there are two seemingly conflicting mental disorders?

Wow I'm glad we're not the only pair out there like that! The feeling of being overwhelmed makes a lot of sense from what I've tried to read on ADHD. Thanks for the tips!!
