I recently took two different questionnaires for adult ADHD. Both came back as 100% that I have ADHD ! I just don’t know what to do next. I think it’s probably right as a lot of things suddenly seem to make sense now. Please can anyone offer advice ? I’m so confused with what I should be feeling or doing ? Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have just read your post and would say that your first stop should be to go and discuss it with your GP then hopefully you will be referred to a psychiatrist,

Then you would be diagnosed weather or not you suffer from ADHD and if so then you would start treatment ASAP 👌 hope this helps you in some way,

All the best 🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

True,

I am 48 and was only diagnosed last November,

I struggled through life from the age of 6,

I was told i had a grasshopper mind 🙈and was a naughty disruptive boy all the way through school,

Once i was officially diagnosed i felt so much better in myself,

I knew that it wasn't all just me being naughty or disruptive and lack of concentration 🙂,

I started medication for ADHD that very day with prescription and i actually couldn't believe it,

Honestly now i have also suffered with really bad Ticks like Torretts since a little boy and the medication more or less stopped them in there tracks aswel as dealing with my condition,

Lately though they have started to come back since the chemist couldn't get my original medication for 3 months and replaced it with another which has set me back a bit ☹️

Luckily i have started back on my original medication yesterday and things seem to be going ok so far so good lol, i hope you get your answers and diagnosis ASAP so you can start to live the life you deserve 🙂

All the best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
