I am confident in my soul that I have ADHD. My twin sisters both have it, and my cousin. But my psychiatrists have always said that the symptoms overlap too much with my PTSD symptoms to be sure. But my ADHD symptoms are extremely present even when my PTSD seems dormant. Has anyone else experienced this? How do you advocate for yourself?

One user suggests that "Sometimes we have to push our drs in the right direction." Another user recommends looking on psychologytoday.com, where you can search for people who treat ADHD and they'll be more open to listening. Yet another user mentions that symptoms of PTSD can be similar to ADHD, which might explain why psychiatrists find it hard to differentiate between the two.
