ADHD
Hi all! I’m new to exploring 7 cups and it’s resources but it looks pretty awesome. I’m currently nervous because I plan to bring up ADHD in my psychiatrist appt this afternoon. She has been very reluctant to diagnose me with it or medicate me for it because she is worried about it increasing my anxiety. However, I have been studying adhd more in depth and am 99% sure it have it. Many years ago I took meds for it and it really did help. I have never really pushed her on it but I am going to try to today. In the end my lack of focus and being able to do the things I should be doing I think is really having the largest affect on my depression & anxiety.
I have the same issue. I have ADD and generalized anxiety. My psychiatrist was torn about it but I pushed for my meds. I didn’t also realized how much it helped until I stopped taking it. It helped so much regulate my mood and just keep going. You’re gonna have to work with your anxiety as well because it will make each other worse. It will be an endless cycle. Tell your psychiatrist you want to take the tests for for it at least
