| Hello, Jessica. I was just wondering how they went about diagnosing ADHD. You hear a lot about this syndrome these days. How do they determine whether a person really has it, or has it become a catchall syndrome for people who are really high strung? Crow |
| When I was a kid I don't remember a whole lot other than seeing a lot of Drs including a neurologist. My parents wanted to make sure they knew exactly what was wrong. When we had my daughter tested by the same dr I saw we filled out a sheet for the dr. For me, I told him my past with ADHD and what was going on now. From there we decided to give meds a try. I think the key is being open and honest. The nurse asked me if I wanted to work with my Dr or be sent to someone else. Since I have a good relationship with him I am sticking with him first. I even started a medication journal so I can track symptoms and such and also in Feb will be starting my bullet journal in hopes to get my life in order. I did a sticky note purge last night. I went from 16 sticky notes to 11. |
