Today was my ADHD assessment, and the therapist said I couldn’t be categorised as having ADHD even though I showed the symptoms. This was because I didn’t meet the 75% severity criterion, which means I don’t need medication and therefore don’t have ADHD.
I've experienced these symptoms since I was a kid, but they didn’t really affect my schoolwork or cause me to repeat classes or need extra tutoring.
The therapist said I do have the symptoms and would treat me as a person diagnosed with ADHD. I know that in India, it's hard to get a diagnosis on the first try.
I'm just really confused because I don’t know if I want ADHD for attention or if it's actually there and this back and forth is messing with my head.
Just ranting and hoping someone else experienced this…
