After taking online tests here at PC, I asked my new psychiatrist to be tested for ADHD. The test was affirmative. However, he cannot prescribe medication to treat it until he has my PTSD under control.
I think the ADHD has hurt me most in interpersonal relationships. I just seem to misjudge things and misunderstand even the most basic things. I have trouble communicating spontaneously. And, I have had trouble on the job. I've had more jobs and careers.
I noticed years ago that I had learning and reading problems. Also, I was always stressed out. I can read newspapers but have trouble with books. I need to use old-fashioned learning techniques with lots of repetition. I have comprehension problems and don't read between the lines well.
I don't know how all of this is going to work out. Hopefully, it can be treated so that my life improves.
