Make room for your story
Relevant records and psychological questionnaires may help clarify or support a diagnosis, but they’re only part of the picture. Your life story and experiences matter.
You don’t need a history of treatment to seek care for ADHD, even well into adulthood. ADHD may be diagnosed for the first time at different stages of adult life.
If you’re still struggling, being told in the past that you don’t have ADHD doesn’t have to stop you from seeking another evaluation. ADHD can be challenging to diagnose and can present in ways that aren’t always easy to recognize. A second opinion may confirm the earlier assessment or identify something that was missed.
