Question about my first psychiatrist visit -- Adult ADHD

[Amtram]

Self-medicating is pretty common with ADD, but if you're doing it with someone else's prescriptions or an illegal substance, you've broken a law that has a direct connection with a psychiatrist's profession and obligations, so you need to think very hard about whether it's going to come up in your discussions with your doctor.

OPINIONS as to whether someone has ADHD or not is just that, an opinion. As a reminder, we can not diagnose anyone in this forum. Don't forget that symptoms do vary per individual meaning some have certain symptoms and some may not; that doesn't mean they do or do not have ADHD. It's best to leave the diagnosis to the professionals.
