[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can also go to a psychiatrist, which is what I would do in your situation, as it is possible to treat both ADHD and anxiety but it can be tricky. He/she will use the Vanderbilt forms and do a much longer history and intake process. Also, the psychiatrist is likely to be a much stronger advocate of therapy which is also important, certainly for the anxiety piece. For the ADHD piece, we have found executive function coaching (which some therapists also do) to be more helpful.[/quote] It depends on the psychiatrist. The one we contacted told us to go to a clinical psychologist or neuropsychologist for diagnosis and call back if we wanted to pursue medication post-evaluation. [/quote]
