    I was referrered to the Vancouver Island Mental Health for an exam. They have 3 psychologists the northern part of the Island, took a few weeks, but came out well. It seems I answered yes to almost everything … only wish I had found out before retirement … sigh.

    I can’t remember for sure but someone asked about testing on Van Island .. so go to Mental Health Dept, Nananim, Parksville, Victoria, etc, ask for an appointment .. or get family doctor for referral .. works either way. They also have staff who offer some Behavior Therapy, but suggest finding out if drugs help first .

    Good people, minimal paperwork silliness. We have a great pharmasist .. she explains the drugs and many are covered under drug plan. Except of course, my Straterra. laughs. If you are near Nanaimo, try the Haven House, they might also have help.

    If you havent been, the library has almost all of the good ADHD books. And there are a few private psychs and naturopaths who also

    offer to ‘treat’ ADD .. but why pay more i think?

    Anyway, hope it helps. laughs, can’t remember who or what topic, so this is sort of shot indark.. good luck

    Doing drugs in half morning half afternoon seems to help, i feel somewhat clearer .. also drinking coffee and that is goood
