My friend used to see him when he was under 18, he seemed pretty indifferent when I asked how he was. As far as I can tell he mostly works with children and adolescents. I live in the GTA and I’m having a horrible time finding a psychiatrist/psychologist/coach that will see adults and are experienced with ADHD. I just get medication prescribed through my family doctor and I know it isn’t enough treatment. When I was under 18 I had access to psychiatrists, group therapy with other kids with ADHD, psychologists, and I didn’t even take the disorder seriously at that time. When I was in college I had accommodations for school and access to counseling. Now that life is more demanding and ADHD causes far more impairment in every aspect of daily life, I have no access to treatment and I actively try to hide my disorder at work. Sorry if this turned into a rant but I’m so sick of ADHD being treated as something you just grow out of.
