I’ve been pretty sure I’ve had adhd for years and I’ve even filled out the form to see if you should get tested and my results strongly suggest that I should but it’s hard to find care and it’s hard for me to get my dad to understand how much I struggle with school because of it and it’s also hard to get treated for it around were I’m from (I’m only 16 so I can’t do any online programs)

      I was diagnosed at age 14 by my psycologist. You can also talk to your PCP and get a referral. At age 16 you are medically independent so you can make an appointment on your own.

      I suggest talking about your concerns with your pcp! It can definitely be hard in some places to even be heard in the first place, but it's worth a shot since your dr(if they're good and genuinely listen to you) can refer you to a behavior specialist for diagnosis!

      Hi, I used to struggle with the same thing before being diagnosed. I am also 16 going in 17 at the end of the month. I got diagnosed in 2020. What are your symptoms that make you think you have it?
