Seeking Advice on Therapy for ADHD

Yeah I’ll try to tell her that I’d like to focus on ADHD. I only saw her once so I’m still hopeful that she can help with ADHD too. But yeah I might need to switch if she isn’t helping with my daily functions, because that’s what I need help figuring out! Thanks<3

I have trouble with this too, and i was actually misdiagnosed until I was 20. I reccomend if possible finding a therapist who has experience or specializes in ADHD. It can be very unhelpful for non-ADHD folks to get treated with the normal depression/anxiety treatments because they usually don’t work. This is because we dont think of things the same way that others do.

I would be direct and say “I feel as thought my anxiety and depression stem from my ADHD symptoms. I would like to talk about that”. They are there to treat you for whatever you think you need to be treated for. If you feel rude being abrupt, maybe write a little note and give it to her at the beginning of the session for her to read over before y’all start!
