ADHD concerns misdiagnosis
Hi there I'm currently being treated with crap medication and need ADHD concerns realised. Have seen specialists who worry about psychosis with stimulants. I think they are all mad.

@bksolar I can hear how frustrating it is for you to find the right treatment at the moment. ADHD often flies under the radar. I can't speak much to the way ADHD meds might interact with psychosis, but it sounds like you've been searching for a while. Have you spoken to quite a few different specialists? Anyone who is a specialist in ADHD?
Something that helped me in my own ADHD journey was to fill both of these out prior to my appt with a psychiatrist:
Jasper Goldberg (ADHD Screening questionnaire, short)
DIVA 2.0 (Adult ADHD Screening Questionnaire, long)
There's a few different ADHD meds out there, so hopefully you can find something that works for you 🤞

I find the questionnaire hard to read and process but thankyou nonetheless. Hopefully I'll muster up the attention to read it. I downloaded it.
I've done a diva assessment and seen specialists. They say there is "overlap" so I'm quite tired mentally from the embarrassment.
Be well
