I want to thank each and every one of you for your response. I have been feeling very isolated with this situation for many years therefore I appreciate all your knowledge, ressources and support. And yes you do get blamed, I’ve had people telling me that (I’m too strict, I’m not strict enough, If he was my kid he wouldn’t ….,blah, blah, blah. A few weeks ago when I asked my family doctor to recommend a health professional that specializes in adult ADHD. She gave me a name but then told me that ADD doesn’t affect behavior and to STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR MY SON. So again, I was treated like a weak stupid parent that just has a kid with an attitude problem. I can understand why some people just give up. Even though I know she’s wrong, she still made me question myself yet again. How am I suppose to trust that she will give him the referral we need to go see another doctor?
Despite this Dr. I have still been looking for a medical professional that specializes in adult ADHD but i’m not sure what questions to ask. I have two Dr’s that recommended a psychiatrist in our region but how can I be sure he’s qualified? What should I check for?
