▲ 6 r/ADHD

Long story short, my therapist told me it's very likely that I have adhd and has recommended that I see a psychiatrist.

I have had issues like insomnia, endless loop of unwanted thoughts, depression, brain fog, lack of motivation and panic attacks since I was a kid, but I did extremely well in school and had no issue whatsoever socialising or concentrating. Only recently did I find myself struggling to stay focused on lecutres and overall uni routine.

I know it wouldn't hurt to get tested, but I have finals at my uni soon, and since I find studying somewhat manageable, although at times hard to stat focused, I'm afraid trying out medication would be more of a fuss than a help.

Should I get tested and see how it goes right now, or should I postpone it until the winter break? Also, were any of you diagnosed adhd while not having typical symptoms and only having the issues I listed above?

I deeply appreciate your help :)
