I have gone through a similar thing. My mother has been convinced I have ADHD since I was a child and my father thinks my issues are because of my childhood. I think I'm Bi-polar I have every symptom and my ex fiancée of four years begged me to get help because he was convinced. As a child I was treated for ADHD, Insomnia, and Depression and none of the medications helped. I felt worse. Now at 21 I don't know how to talk to a doctor about it but I have realized I do need help.
