Also, testing isn't necessary to get an ADHD diagnosis but sometimes doctors feel like they need it in order to do so. You may want to talk with your GP directly and inform them of what happened. My guess is that it would be best to seek out a therapist or psychiatrist to get them to help with diagnosis. If that's an option. Again, I'm not sure how the system works across the pond.
Thanks quietly. I don't think I want to give up. It would explain a lot about why I am the way I am. Seeking a psychiatrist may be an option, like you say.
