Hi. I think I have ADHD but I have not been diagnosed yet. I am a bit scared of doctors needles etc. I also have claustrophobia. So being in a hospital is hard for me. I wanted to ask if someone could share their story of getting the diagnosis. What tests did they ask you to do? How long did it take to get diagnosed? Was it hard to accept your diagnosis?

Hello @JuliaWils? How are you today?

Thank you for starting this discussion today! Have you considered an online consultation with a professional to begin with? Being in closed places like hospitals can be challenging when dealing with claustrophobia. I hope you find a solution to your current problem! I will try to help by tagging other members who might want to share their thoughts on this topic.

Hey everyone! How are you feeling today?

Take care,

Polina from the Carenity team
