Struggling to Schedule ADHD Assessment

So a couple months ago, my therapist told me I likely have ADHD based on our conversations and so I asked my psychiatrist at my appointment if I could have the official assessment done. She told me to schedule with the people at the practice who are in charge of doing those assessments. It’s been months now where I keep getting distracted when I intend to call them and put it aside for another day. My husband and I joke that this alone should prove I have it. 😂

Haha, yeah it is very difficult to actually diagnose adhd because it shares many common symptoms with other mental health disorders. For a long time I was told I had adhd but I recently found out it was ptsd. Best of luck! ❤️

haha yes true. I had a psychiatrist propose that theory but I’ve been struggling with symptoms since before my ptsd or trauma showed up so think it’s likely adhd especially since a few in my family have it. Guess we will find out someday!
