Hi, my name is Devin.

I would just like to give my testimonial as I journey to solve my problem, and I hope this helps someone else in their quest to solve their own issues.

A brief history:

In my childhood I was diagnosed ADHD and was on Ritalin for many years until I decided I could live with out it around the 3rd grade.
For the longest time I have been trying to work out my problems myself, but I have thus far had no success. After much research, I have made the best theory I can and it comes down to adult ADHD. I am not sure how severe it is, but I feel the affects in learning and socially. I have not had a true friend in a very long time. Most relationships only go as far as acquaintances. This, and many other symptoms are what I seek to solve.

I have called and left a message for a psychologist to make an appointment to be tested. Waiting for her to call back.

Welcome to Psychlinks, Devin.

You made the correct decision to consult a mental health professional to get a competent diagnosis and treatment plan.

Self diagnosis is misleading and dangerous. Even trained health professionals do not attempt self diagnosis, because of the absence of objectivity in that situation.

Please join in any of the ongoing discussions or start some of your own, to share your experiences or to seek the support you might need.

Hi Devin,
If you were correctly dx'ed in you childhood you most likely do have adult ADHD. ADHD does not go away, it will just manifest itself in a slightly different way.
Often the hyperactivity element becomes less pronounced at a later age and there are also variants that do not even show hyperactive symptoms at all.

Thank you, Sarek. You are correct.
