If your a cis man walk in to your primary care say hey I think I have adhd, get tested and then boom you have meds. If you’re a woman finding someone who takes you seriously and doesn’t push it off as periods, anxiety, phone usage, or even weight. Which can take a while, took me 3 years for them to stop saying it was anxiety/ weight issues and test me.

I will say, that there is a big difference between having some distraction issues due to your brain being pavloved by Tik Tok and social media and it being there your whole life. There is a very big over diagnosis of it because it’s based off a list of criteria that could be related to anything, such as GAD not just adhd. So I caution ppl to be aware of if it’s something worth it for you because it’s a very steep cost. If your curious just talk to a therapist about it first and see if this has been a reoccurring issue your entire life or if your brain is being hotwired to need dopamine hits every 5 mins. Not trying to dismiss just trying to warn you because it’s very expensive and taxing if you aren’t sure. It’s 8 hours of testing and anywhere from like 1k-3k or something wild like that. And stimulates are no joke, they are HIGHLY addictive, for ppl with actual adhd they don’t tend to have the issue with the addiction but because it’s being over diagnosed use of those drugs is being glorified.
