i believe i have adhd, like most of the symptoms, but today i visited a doctor, and he, without even touching me testing me or analyzing me said that you do not have adhd, you are just depressed. should i believe him or visit another doctor?
sm0ke3 [#6]do you scroll on tiktok or reels or shorts quite often? are you chronically online?
YEs but not so often
shermie [#8]is your doctor specialized in mental health? ie: psychologist?
yes
i am an adult (20yrs) and he said adults can never get adhd.
ChowChow [#11]You believe you had ADHD, go to doctor but post help in vlr.
Yeah you need serious help indeed.
sadly this is genuinely a sign this person might have ADHD
instead of just immediately seeing another doctor they push it off and ask for help in VLR
number2_cNed_fan [#2]you are just depressed (i would know cuz i know u personally)
Dr cNed knows best 🫡
brother i have changed 3 psychiatrist in a week, every single one didn't ever try to remote their thoughts to adhd, ever single one gave me anti depressants, some sleeping pills thats it, the reason i am concerned is why no one is ever considering even after me requesting to do my diagnosis of adhd.

brother i am hopeless after seeing 3 doctors, therefore i am here to find someone who was diagnosed at my age
iann_21 [#16]brother i am hopeless after seeing 3 doctors, therefore i am here to find someone who was diagnosed at my age
still a sign of ADHD
I had a full-day psychological evaluation that got cancelled after waiting 8 months and proceeded to get so upset I blew it off for a while until I had motivation to try again instead of immediately rescheduling.
I am not diagnosed but I recently got medicated for ADHD-like symptoms until I can get evaluated and diagnosed. it's really really hard to find a doctor willing to help.
my brother got diagnosed at 20. he had the same issue with his first doctor. second doctor he was very clear in outlining that hes been experiencing symptoms for years, and said that with college it just reached the point where he knew he needed medication.
doctors are very careful with adhd diagnosis now and if you are unclear with your symptom description or say that it has just recently started they probably wont help you.
even though adhd can become apparent in adulthood lots of doctors will be extremely reluctant to diagnose unless theyve had symptoms for a long time because adderall is literally prescribed meth and they are understandably cautious
if you want me to ask my brother more im down lmk (im US btw not czech)

take care mate
iann_21 [#9]yes

your doctor needs to lose his job lol, ignoring that adult can get adhd, there's also the possibility of you having adhd as a kid and just never been diagnosed. that was the case with me lol
iann_21 [#20]take care mate
you too I hope you find a doctor willing to help you
took me 6 doctors until one finally took me seriously and was willing to give me very basic medication until I got my next psych eval 8 months out.

legit that rude piece of shit, on the prescription, he said "take it written from me you dont have adhd"

oh another thing to note is that ADHD overlaps with Depression and an Anxiety disorder a lot (according to the Psychiatrist that finally listened to me)
if you have depression on file they should be considering ADHD MORE
my #1 tip is if you know any family with ADHD please mention that as ADHD can be genetic as well.
ADHD is a scam created by big pharma to give people SSRIs and SNRIs, both are literal legalized narcotics in order to keep the people weak and dependent on the system.
Most depression are due to deficiency of Vitamin D and Vitamin B12, both of which can be absorbed from eating lots of eggs, milk, and red meat. This is also the reason why the west wanting to push vegan diet on people. Try carnivore diet with no seed oils and corn syrup, your depression will be instantly cured
MeloSquids [#23]how reputable was the doctor that you went to?
no clue he was kinda old, i found him online who was near my house

this +10000000000
there are meds that help with ADHD that aren't adderall which doctors might be more willing to prescribe until you get fully diagnosed with ADHD professionally, so there isn't an excuse for doctors to blow off people's symptoms. They do anyways however.

brother adhd is different from depression
Zikos [#5]Have an adderall pill and check if it improves the symptoms to know whether you have adhd or not.
(Not a medical advice)
Please don't self medicate, thank you very much!
iann_21 [#9]yes

there's like a small little chunk of truth in here

not true

small bit of truth. Vitamin D and B12 do help with symptoms of depression and even anxiety. Seed oils and corn syrup and generally a bad diet contribute to mental health, and eating healthier and cutting those out really do help. Besides that, everything else in here is conspiracy nonsense.
