I’m a little confused, I know based on my whole life experiences that I do indeed have ADHD; but I don’t know how I should tell my doctor about it? I mean, it’s disrespectful and yet probably would think I want drugs or something. A little help? Thanks.
So I have an appointment coming up with my new family doctor. I am going to ask for some blood tests and get my routine checkup. Then I’m going to just say I’ve been having some significant mental health issues and am going to ask for a referral for therapy and possible adhd assessment. At least that’s what I’m telling myself I’m going to do. I have that fear about the drug seeking opinion too but I’m trying to get over it. That is their problem not yours and if they are going to have thst opinion find a different doctor. Course I’m saying this but at the same time I’m just a scared little girl in a grown ass woman’s body with all this and I’m not evennsure the point I’m trying to make from this. I guess just advocate for yourself. Your experiences are your own and you knkw yourself best.
