Any adults with ADHD?

[lottiejenkins]

Im going to The Maudsley for an assessment on Monday and was wondering if anyone else had done anything similar? My ds has adhd as well as his other problems and his doctor has suggested that i go and see someone!

Hi Lottie. Wow, that sounds really interesting. Obviously they examine the data after your trial and what will they do with it? Will it indicate to them your mental state at the time your press the buzzer? How have they asked you to describe how you feel ? With words ? ie" agitated, relaxed, hyper, frustrated ........

I think so.........will be interesting as my stress levels will probably be high because its holidays next week! Especially Monday when we have a trip to the hospital in London for Wilf!!!

Am v interested in all this - currently trying to book a GP appointment to beg her to get me a referral for diagnosis. I'm not convinced she'd be sympathetic tbh.

It's been a pita all my life (though it's only recently that I realised what it probably was) but the new issue is it's putting DD1's life at risk. I can't remember appointments or to pick up prescriptions - I have huge amounts of coping systems in place - diaries, organisers, lists, etc - but then I can't focus long enough to use them.

lottie Good luck with hospital appointment. Keep us posted on the trial results. Stay focused !!!

rsdhsd.... Im sorry you feel that your GP wont be sympathetic.....is there another gp you could ask to see?...Im in an enviable position where i have a fantastic gp who does everything he can to help me and my ds!Can you ask to be referred to a psychiatrist maybe? then the referral can go from there............... My referral came via my ds's psych who contacted my gp!
