Hi Johny,

I didn't realize you were in the UK. Please try netdoctor.co.uk/adhd/index.... for more information. Also, to find a support group or a health practitioner who can help you with an evaluation in England/the United Kingdom, go to netdoctor.co.uk/adhd/suppor....

You may be interested in The National Attention Deficit Disorder Information and Support Service, which provides people-friendly information and resources about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to anyone who needs assistance - parents, sufferers, teachers or health professionals. They can be found at addiss.co.uk.

I know it is hard and know you're hurting. You're also an important part of this world, even when its hard to feel that way at times. I encourage you to reach out to your primary care doctor and let the doctor know how you're feeling. There is help available. Please contact your doctor.

Best regards,

Karen
