[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the point of convincing your psychiatrist of whether you do or don't have ADHD? Try some of the previous suggestions about managing ADHD symptoms as an adult. If it helps? Great. They would honestly help anyone willing to implement them. Their diagnosis might get you a prescription... but I'm not sure that adults are even eligible to get prescription meds for ADHD. If you're looking for a specific therapy, then find another therapist. [/quote] Also, OP doesn’t need to convince a psychiatrist she has ADHD. OP should seek help to see what might be causing the symptoms and have her doctors run tests to rule out something physical - and then possibly explore doing an assessment for ADHD or another condition. ADHD can severely impact someone’s life. If it turns out that she has it, her doctor can come up with some treatment options that may include meds, ADHD coaching, therapy etc. [/quote]
