Struggling to get an ADHD diagnosis

I’m trying to get diagnosed with adhd but it seems like a lot of doctors just want me in and out of their clinics and won’t actually address symptoms. Does anyone have any advice on how to ask to be tested without being pushed away?

they work for you, ask for an eval. it helps a lot with a lot of different disorders and would definitely at least get a screening or a ref for a better psychiatrist

Try doing an online doc at first then move to an actual therapist and tell them directly

Speak to a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Look for a D.O. not an M.D.

I'm not all too certain how to get diagnosed, I was when I was a kid so never had any issues there, but usually if it's someone you've seen before if you express you're concern often enough they're willing to address it. Can obviously depend upon whether or not there's a basis to suggest about such a thing, but again I don't see why they would push you away if it was a great enough concern of yours
