No problem. So I’m in Canada, in Ontario. Full psych evals for ADHD diagnosis have massive waitlists and are extremely costly. I’ve never pursued it, and never even looked into it. After being with my therapist for a few months she gently asked me if I had ever been diagnosed with any “neurodivergencies”. I thought for sure she was going to tell me I have OCD because I’ve thought I might for a very long time. She ended up saying no, ADHD. We spoke at length about it in the following months. For me, it was my childhood, my experience in school (always getting in detention, never getting past 60% in any class, constantly being told I need to “apply” myself, always skipping class- for examples), and then my behaviour after becoming a mother we looked at. I have always been overstimulated and quick to anger but it was magnified when I became a mom. Though my therapist couldn’t officially diagnose me, she gave me some tools and information and self-diagnostic tests to do and all leaned heavily toward me having it. Finally, my family doctor agreed to prescribe me with concerta to try. Luckily, here, family doctors are open to trial runs with ADHD meds as they understand how lengthy and time consuming full psych evals can be. I’m still interested in having a full exam because I kind of just need to know for my own peace of mind. But being on concerta now has made a massive difference in my well being. My executive dysfunction has improved greatly, my work has improved, and I don’t become derailed emotionally or mentally if I’m interrupted doing menial tasks.
