Doctors say one thing, i think another. What should i do ? (ADHD related)?

6 Nov, 2009  adhd doctors

I went to see a therapist who says i have ADD and depression. I saw a psychiatrist who said i have Bipolar disorder when i’m 100& sure i dont. She keeps insisting and telling me all sorts of different cases she knows which are very unrelated to my issue.

I want to see a doctor who can prescribe ADHD meds cause the phsyc i saw specializes in Depression and she was basically harassing me with Abilify (which i researched and am now FAR too scared to take)

I KNOW my attention span is shot and i know i need to treat it. Should i go with my gut here ?

i’d just keep looking around…find a doctor who will give you what you think you need, or who will convince you that you have something else. dont do anything you feel uncomfortable with.

    You probably do have a shortened attention span. Bipolar does that too.

    Follow your doctor’s advice.

    Go with your gut I say. I think you’d be better off looking for some talking therapy or counseling rather than getting prescribed loads of drugs.
