My therapist wants me to get tested for ADHD. I'm not chomping at the bit to get it done because I've heard it's pretty intensive and very expensive. However, my therapist says I can't get treatment without the test and my symptoms are really making life hard for me. I forget exactly what she said, but something along the lines of my (possible) ADHD symptoms combined with my (diagnosed) schizoaffective d/o are making each other worse.
I'm just curious if the testing is really all that bad or if it's worth it. My T said I have to go through my PCP to get the testing instead of the pdoc but I'm not sure if I should wait a while to see my pdoc (in March) or call my PCP sometime soon.
