  • Not who you were asking but I was able to be diagnosed via my GP. This was after a year of therapy to make sure I wasn’t conflating things. My therapist agreed it was adhd however she could not diagnose so I went to a psych nurse who wanted to diagnose me as bipolar after an hour and one 10 question survey. Left there in tears because I am not bipolar! No one who knows me would say that either!!!

    All I wanted was an adhd assessment but no she couldn’t do that. So ended up talking to my GP about it and he asked me some questions and said why not try some meds and see what happens. I mean not the best way to go but I was all but certain this was my issue so I went with it. Of course now I have serious imposter syndrome about it since I didn’t have a “real” assessment. But the meds work for me.
