Hi,
I just turned 24 and for several years I thought maybe I had depression or anxiety because something just didn't seem right. But reading into it depression didn't seem to fit. I have been in and out of college since I graduated hs, have changed my major a thousand times and have nothing to show for it. I have read a lot about ADD recently and I really think this could be something that is affecting me. I am the kind of person that never admits to being wrong, never asks for help, ect but I am at a point now where I feel like I am about to hit bottom if I don't get some help soon.

Does anybody have any advice on how I could bring this up with my parents, ect and how do I talk about it with my primary care doc. From what I have read can't really get a diagnosis from primary doc so who should I ask help from. Also, should I tell the doctor I would like to be evaluated for adult add or just that I need an evaluation?

Any insights and advice is GREATLY appreciated!!

My score was 86 on the adhd quiz although I know that doesn't really mean a lot
