Disappointed ☹️ I scheduled an appointment to address my recent ADHD diagnose, with both behavior thearpy and medication management. The psychiatrist refused to address my ADHD concerns and refused to hear me out. Doctor, I have been to four psychiatrists during the past 10 years and have tried everything. They tell me I’m depressed or bipolar. The meds always just make me feel worse. Yes, I have been on the very same mood stabilizer you are trying to prescribe me for three years, with no successful results. I want to try and see if it's actually the ADHD I need to address. He said "no, let's start with the mood stabilizer" I just can't put myself through the exact same ordeal with the same exact disappointing results. I so excited to finally start addressing the real underlying cause for my problem. I told him I already have my ADHD behavior thearpy scheduled for next week, he informed me he didn't even bother looking at my results. My results wouldn't matter because ADHD can overlap other mental illness. I ALREADY addressed this.....I have been treated for bipolar disorder and major depression. It's not that! I have mountains of paperwork to verify this. I did not schedule an appointment to start from the very beginning, 10 years ago. I know for a fact that it's ADHD, it causes changes in mood as well (especially if left untreated for 30 years.) Frustrated he wouldn't even hear me out. I did extensive research and started writing about my experiences with untreated ADHD.
