I have a relatively new psychiatrist. I switched psychiatrists to an adult doctor and the first thing he did was diagnose me with ADHD. I guess it's "that bad" that he could see it in the office. I knew I had it, but I didn't realize how much it could affect my life and anxiety.
Do you have any tips on how to deal with ADHD as an adult? |

Be patient. With yourself and with the treatment process. If you choose to try medications, it can take a while to find the right med and the right dose. Even if you find it, medication is not a fix-all. For me, it took years to develop and accumulate tools and strategies to help me organize my life. Everyone is different and it's really a trial and error process in discovering what is going to help you personally. Hopefully, your psychiatrist will be there to help you along the way.
