Hi,

I guess I just need some backup before I go to my psychiatric nurse and bring this up. I had my first DBT appointment today (yay!) but the person doing it with me brought up the interesting theory that I might have adult ADD. A few adult ADD tests later and his theory seems to have some merit to it. It's not been diagnosed before because I'm both dyslexic and I have BPD and I think that those conditions were used to explain the symptoms away...but I'm not convinced anymore.

I am on antipsychotics which I've seen can be cancelled out by ADD meds, which would be unhelpful to say the least. I know I need to talk to my MH professional, but some advice on quite what to say and how to approach the subject would be much appreciated.
