I went to the psychiatrist at my university in regards to ADD/ADHD symptoms that I have experienced my entire life. After giving him a pretty thorough reasoning as to why I believed I have the symptoms (textbook Type 2-Inattentive ADD), he pretty much said everything he could to disprove it. I was never assessed with ADD as a child because of my high grades in elementary school, but I was hyperactive and a distraction to other children and it became more apparent throughout high school. It is not just a problem with school, but it also seems to effect my way of life, especially with my relationships to people and work. Anyways, he went on to talk about if I had problems with anxiety and stress and I did tell him that I tend to worry alot and going through some stressful situations and he tried to pinpoint my problem to that, instead of my problems with attention. I have another meeting with him soon and need to know what I should say to make sure he knows that ADD is the main problem.
