Im at the "psychiatrist referred me to psychologist for testing" stage. As of like, a few days ago. Otherwise identical, 7+ years of wanting testing (and having insurance and money to do it), before even making an attempt at getting treatment.

Psychiatrist seemed confident meds would seriously help tho! Although i guess they are kinda paid to say that i guess?

They are not at all paid to say that. That said, the meds were a game changer for me.

Medication helps most people with ADHD the fastest. It’s just a scientific fact.

No medication can be the goal, the meds seriously help on that path though.
