i have a lot going on in terms of my mental health, but one thing that is really destroying my life right now seems to be executive dysfunction. i’m well into middle age now and never got assessed, but i’d like to be evaluated and treated if possible. i really don’t know where to start. i don’t have insurance as i’m unemployed (u.s.). what sort of professional should i see who can help me? any thoughts on what to expect along the way? any advice would be most appreciated!

    I found a psychiatrist who not only had experience with ADHD but also had it.

    My psych also has the same AuDHD I do. On the positive side, she really gets it and offers great advice. On the negative, my ADHD psych herself has ADHD, and getting prescriptions filled can sometimes be a challenge. Not because she thinks I’m a drug seeker and doesn’t value medication, but because she can be just as squirrel-brained as I can! 🤣
