Could this be because of ADHD

Hi,
My 2 children are diagnosed ADHD and this has inevitably brought up some some questions about myself.

My area of hyper focus I suppose is people.
One of my problems in life is not wanting/ not coping with being alone. If I am not with someone I get very flat and down and don’t know what to do with myself.

Could this be because of ADHD? I don’t know if I am being ridiculous, but it is one of the things I have always tried to ‘fix’ in myself.

Also if anyone can recommend someone to assess in London that would be great. I want someone kind as I feel very nervous about this and don’t want to be told I’m being stupid in a shaming way.

Thanks

Dr Helen Read is in London and carries out private disgnosis. She is doing them online atm i think. Google her and her website will come up. Circa £500. Good luck 😘

This could be part of ADHD but to get a diagnosis you would need to have some other significant problems with attention and focus.
