Yes, you need a lawyer.
It makes me angry that it is so hard to get help. People who are supposed to know what they are doing often don’t have a clue.
You don’t have to tell your current doctor a damn thing. It’s none of his business.
Also, it is never to your advantage to talk to the police, because it’s their job to use that information to get a conviction. Even if you had done nothing, talking to them would have been a bad idea. (For those in the U.S., see http://www.flexyourrights.org)
Often I think we feel that because we have ADHD we don’t deserve basic respect, or that we’re inherently “bad” – personally I don’t think you deserve to go to jail over this. A competent doctor would have helped you in the first place.
