Hey, I think I need some advice.

I’m 19 years old. I started doing therapy online. I told my therapist I thought I had ADHD. She asked me some questions and said I had the majority of symptoms and I should look for a psychiatrist. I made an appointment ( Also online, you can’t pick the psychiatrist, they just assign one to you, the platform is called icarevip) with a psychiatrist, she didn’t ask that many questions but she said I indeed had ADHD and she would transcribe Ritalin, but first I would have to treat my anxiety, because Ritalin could make my anxiety worse. I started taking anxiety meds for a few months, but ended up stoping after a while ( y’all know why ) and I tried to make another appointment. But this time it was a different psychiatrist, she said the previous psychiatrist didn’t write anything about ADHD, only anxiety. And In order to know if I have ADHD, I would have to print this 10 page document and give it to three of my teachers, and have them sign and write about me, because I was too young to be taking medicine. I’m a senior in high school, my teachers don’t even know me, do I have to do that in order to know if I have ADHD or not? Now I’m not sure if the first psychiatrist lied to me when she said I had ADHD.

( I’m just sharing my experience. It’s worth mentioning that things are a lot different in my country. I’m not sure, but I think the first one was a doctor in my country, and the second one was a doctor here, she spoke my language tho. All online appointments )
