My psychiatrist seemed reluctant at first to diagnose ADHD, and even when he did, kept telling me that I didn’t seem interested in making my life better. At this point my marriage had all but fallen apart. He suggested I talk with a psychologist about the emotions I was dealing with. The referral letter for the psychologist only stated that I had ‘relationship issues.’ *sigh* The psychologist, when I presented my diagnosis, and the emotional fallout(not to mention the related depression from personal feelings of being apathetic) had to reach behind her for her copy of DSM IV, as she admitted not having any previous deallings with the disorder. I thanked her for her time and left. I have since been getting most of my support/information from peer-based organizations and this site. I am just glad that I have answers for so many questions now, and that my past life now makes sense.
