My T is not into diagnoses so he doesn't really talk about this with me. After a couple of years of therapy we discussed some symptoms he thought might be ADHD so he referred me for assessment for that to a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I went to see her and she did diagnose me with ADHD. It was good to see her for this assessment because she can also prescribe, whereas my T could just do behavioral work with me on that. I believe if I asked my T my primary diagnosis, he would say PTSD.
