Something’s not right

ADHD concerns misdiagnosis

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
