How did you get your doctor to test you for adhd? I'm in USA, and my GP is not understanding my situation.

I went to a therapist who specialized in adult ADHD. I wouldn't trust a GP to understand ADHD well enough to diagnose it.

See a psych, not a GP. If necessary, get the rec. But don't trust the GP for this. Use them to push you to a psych. A lot of times, you don't even need a rec from a GP to see a psych.

My girlfriend got a recommendation from her therapist. Her GP was also useless.
