Seeking an ADHD Evaluation with a Specialist?
People often share one of these stories:
I just learned about ADHD and I think I have it. My last provider said I was too intelligent/functional to have ADHD, but I know things shouldn’t feel this hard.
A friend with ADHD pulled me aside and told me that they think I have it too, and recommended I get an evaluation.
I have been diagnosed and on medication for years, but my new primary care provider doesn’t feel comfortable prescribing stimulants.
I’ve been running on adrenaline and caffeine for years, but I feel like I can’t keep up anymore and I am failing to meet my own expectations.
I’ve been on antidepressants for years but things still feel too difficult. I didn’t know what was wrong, so my primary care provider recommended I see a specialist.
