Ya, I would suggest getting a second opinion/someone else. Most pdocs would know that anxiety disorders are very common with AD/HD, especially GAD and social anxiety. I think its a 10-15% chance. Not super sure, but. I don't really know what's common with bipolar though other than AD/HD...
I wouldn't want my pdoc to dismiss symptoms I have at all, saying whatever. As an example, social anxiety is common in people with AD/HD because of how they seem to fit "out of place" with everyone (sorry if that was written badly). This can cause lower self-esteem and anxiety around other people.
Anyways, hope this helps [emoji4] and good luck.
