Hello. Idk if u feel comfortable answering this but I've been following u for a while and I was curious about how u got diagnosed with adhd after initially being treated for anxiety and depression. How did you go about with that process? Did you advocate for yourself? I just feel like I might be in the same boat and ur experience really opened my eyes about my gad and mdd masking my real diagnosis because my current treatment rn is ineffective
I know my dad has it, and inheritance of ADHD is very high which is how I approached my school doctors that I wanted to get tested. they made me talk and fill out some shit then said theyâd get me in contact with a psychologist. a few weeks later the doctor called and said it would cost thousands and a few months waiting time for a full diagnosis but looking at my file she said not to bother with that because itâs beyond a doubt i have it..
so like...im not 100% formally diagnosed in paperwork i guess but its still enough for them to give me medication. hopefully when i get better health insurance i can go in for the whole thing tho
