Wow so I looked at a list of symptoms and I really think this is something i have. I'm going to see my general practitioner later this week to talk about possible thyroid problems, but do you think I should mention this to her and ask her to recommend a psychiatrist? Should I talk about the symptoms with her?
And then, when I do see a psychiatrist, should I straight up tell them "i think i have adhd/pi" or should i list the symptoms and hope they figure it out?

Yep, I think you should tell her what tou have read. Because I think I may have the same thing, but was too embarrassed to say anything, I have been prescribed Effexor for anxiety and depression, but they are yet to make a difference. Definately ask for a blood test to test your thyroid too.

you need to tell the psychiatrist straight out, so he can run the appropriate tests to see if indeed you do have adhd.
