I’m a little confused, I know based on my whole life experiences that I do indeed have ADHD; but I don’t know how I should tell my doctor about it? I mean, it’s disrespectful and yet probably would think I want drugs or something. A little help? Thanks.

    Can confirm, thats how its done where I’m from too.

    Then I met with a psychiatrist, he asked me why I thought I might have it, I presented a post from Reddit which kinda fit some of my descriptions. And we went through a bunch of questions. I answered honestly and ended up with a few of the answers “right” but not enough of them to be diagnosed.

    Then he recommended some changes to my anti-depressiva medicine that worked pretty well! So a win! Curiously enough these anti-depressiva, Bupropion, are used sometimes to threat ADHD too.
