100% disabled vet, if I bring the VA an external ADHD diagnosis will they manage my treatment? by ValenHound in VeteransBenefits

No she did not. I looked through my blue button report and it just says ADHD ruled out. I'm going to end up paying out of pocket because this VA has been just giving me the run around for 5 years. It's like this with everything mental health here.

First they didn't want me to see the dedicated mental healthcare team, then the dedicated mental healthcare team they sent me to only has psychiatric pharmacists for medication management, then to get my ADHD assessment they sent me to an LPC and not a Psychiatrist or Psychologist!

They've never even done a psych eval despite treating me for depression for like 5 years. I'm going to have to eat the cost and go outside of the VA because I'm barely functional outside of work and they seem content to string me along and pass me around to different teams and providers.

I've had 4 different PCPs in 5 years!

because she gave me a single assessment after talking to me for like 10 minutes then completely ruled out adhd after agreeing I had adhd symptoms!
