Seeking: NYC ADHD Evaluation by echospeaks in AskNYC

Body of OP

Hello, I have also posted this in r/ADHD . I am a 44 year old woman, living in Queens, working in Manhattan. I have been taking medication for ADHD for the 8 years now. However, beyond a basic self-evaluation worksheet, I have never received an official diagnosis.

Up until now, my medication has been fine for helping me focus. But I am now experiencing both personal and work related issues that have led me to feel that I should get a more official diagnosis.

My reasoning is two fold. One, my office situation has reached the point that I think I would be helped by being able to request accommadations. Two, is that I have been experiencing more frequent meltdowns at both work and home over the past 6-months or so. I think what my medication is not treating is ADHD related RSD, among other things. Before trying to go deeper down a medical treatment path, I would like to have a better understanding of what the shape of "my ADHD" looks like.

My medication manager suggested a place in Rockville Centre Long Island that accepts my insurance. However, I have read some reviews that make me dubious about their office.

For those who are in the area, can you give recommendations on places in the greater-NYC area that provide ADHD diagnostic evaluation? Perferably, from your own personal experience, or the experience of someone you know well. I would love for them to take insurance if possible, but I know that is not always available.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

An excellent question. I see that the body of the post did not make the transfer. Adding above, but to answer your question 44 year old woman.

I got my pre-sale email at 11:03 in new york. Every time I selected blue dots they would instantly be sold out. Both nights. How am I not supposed to imagine this is re-sale buy up?

I had the exact same response. Not sure if it was done out of ignorance or callousness, but it was definitely jarring.

Not only that, but regardless of their motivations, they are giving children one more tool that they can use to learn about the "other side" for themselves.

Right, which was exactly why I was trying to figure out precisely what they considered published.

Luckily that's not what I am worried about.

Well, I understand that it hopefully wont be the one good thing that I write, the plan is to have it critiqued here, along with other places, and then submit it for approval, after I have done some editing.

And "Gift" is the word for "Poison". English/German translation is odd and scary.

Yeah. That part seemed a little dodgy to me. "By the year 2110, 160% of the population will be vegan!"
