Worried if I should start medication.
Hi everyone!
So, after years of putting it off, I finally reached out to a psychiatrist and got diagnosed with adhd. My doctor sent me a form to fill out and diagnosed me based off of that form.
He also suggested I start with medication (stimulants) twice a day and see where it goes after sitting down with me for another session. I am a bit concerned if this was rushed/if the form alone was enough for a diagnosis.
I still believe I have adhd but after a family member said that I might be “shopping around” to get a diagnosis, I am second guessing myself.
In conclusion, will the form be enough to get diagnosed? Is this enough or are there other tests that I should ask my doctor about?
