At some point categorising the symptoms into cluster isnt as important as treating symptoms. Psychiatry isnt a logic puzzle. It is adjusting your brain by whatever means are available for optimal functioning.
Gabor Mate is a drug addiction ADD pdoc with a lot to say about ADD and early childhood psychological injury and trauma. Hes on youtube. His books are invaluable.
I know too how frustrating to have deep or complicated questions and get no response.

I will look up Gabor Mate on youtube. I agree that I am too focused on dx and the right label. You are correct, my pdoc is going to treat my symptoms anyway. It is confusing when I have docs who diagnose different things and don't agree with each other. Psychiatry is so much guesswork, it is very complicated. Thanks so much for your support!
