no_dopamine: I am in the same boat as you. First had an appointment with Dr. Tanguay – who was renowned for his work with ADHD patients, but he passed away before my appointment date, so I had to see another psychiatrist. Went through a battery of tests and was then diagnosed as having ADHD. However, the psychiatrist didn’t treat me – instead I was sent back to my family doc who had zero experience treating ADHD patients. I was able to find another family doc who specialized in ADHD and so finally, after all these years without a diagnosis or treatment, I’m now getting treated. Wish I could say everything’s rosy but we’ve just started so I’m learning to be patient.
