 High performers may experience anxiety, often related to performance or the fear of not meeting their own or others' expectations. This can be generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or performance anxiety. 

  The pressure and isolation that can accompany high-level achievements or being in the public eye might contribute to feelings of depression. Depression can make it difficult for high performers to maintain their performance and can affect their overall well-being.

 ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While ADHD is often associated with difficulties in academic and professional settings, it is important to recognize that individuals with ADHD can also be high achievers or thrive in the public eye.

  In an attempt to cope with the pressures of their roles or to enhance performance, some high performers may turn to substance abuse, including the misuse of alcohol, prescription medications, or other drugs.

 High performers often set very high standards for themselves, which can lead to a constant pursuit of perfection. This can result in a fear of failure, self-criticism, and an inability to take satisfaction from their achievements. 

 Driven by their commitment to excel, high performers might work excessively and take on more than they can handle. This can lead to chronic stress and burnout, which manifests as physical and emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy. 

  Despite their accolades, high performers may feel like they are not truly deserving of their success or that they have fooled everyone into overestimating their abilities. This phenomenon is known as impostor syndrome.

High performers in certain fields, such as athletes, actresses, artists or anyone with a heavy emphasis on appearance, might struggle with eating disorders triggered by pressures to maintain a certain body image or weight. 

  The physical health of high performers can also suffer due to chronic stress. They might experience headaches, gastrointestinal disturbances, sleep disturbances, or worse, high blood pressure and the risk of heart disease.
