I hear you. I went to my family doctor and said that I was looking for treatment options. I was very clear that I wanted to look at both medical and behavioural treatment. My doctor seems to be against medical treatment at all, and suggested that I look at behavioural alone, after admitting that she wasn’t that familiar with Adult ADD and didn’t feel comfortable prescribing anything. I have no problem with that, but I resent that she seems to completely discount the option of medicine. I feel like a person who needs glasses and knows they could help, but is told to just squint harder. I would also appreciate a list of Psychiatrists in the GTA that specialize in Adult ADD so that I can take the reins myself.
