I am also new here, want to talk about depression, anxiety and presumed ADHD
Hi there,
My name is Muhammad Ali. I am 27 and teach English as a Second Language in a school. I have been thinking lately that I have ADHD. Though the symptoms I have learned about were present ever since I was a child, but my belief that these manifest the presence of ADHD have have been established for a year. I need to talk to ADHD positives to learn if I SHOULD go to psychiatrist to get diagnosed or not?
Also, I have already been diagnosed with depression. I have been on anti-depressent pills for around eight months. The same psychiatrist says I am not ADHD positive. However, I do not trust his statement because no diagnostic procedures were followed.

These things are not black and white and easy to diagnose, especially in adults. Psychologists would be better suited to make such a diagnosis rather than a psychiatrist, IMO.
I’d be glad to talk with you.
