What was your ADHD diagnosis like?

Hi, I recently got diagnosed with ADHD (literally today), and I'm feeling a little iffy about it all.

To clarify, I do believe that I have ADHD (or at least I'm quite certain with lingering doubts), but I just thought the process was really odd for me.

I'd been hearing that it's an arduous, long process, but I was done really quickly. For context, I did this through Kaiser with insurance.

I had a single, 45ish minute appointment with a therapist who referred me to a psychiatrist. I spoke with him online about my experiences for maybe 25 minutes---to which he was very responsive towards---then he was like "yup, you've got ADHD" and prescribed me meds.

Are the appointments supposed to be this quick normally? I'm just curious because the quickness of it all is making me kinda doubt my diagnosis. Is it that easy to diagnose ADHD? Was it this fast for you guys?
