I had a psychologist appointment last week, and I don’t think I made any progress. He seemed to think I “could” have ADHD, voiced doubt that medications work, and wanted to talk about my possible rebellious nature… 😡 no real diagnosis, no serious scientific assessment. I think I learned that you have to really know what your expectations are and ask for that up front, or you may end up wasting time and money on appointments with the wrong people…

Question: What does an assessment for ADHD consist of, and how do I know if I’m getting the right thing?
