Adult ADHD psychiatric counseling review

Adult ADHD psychiatric counseling review

I went for a psychiatric consultation to get diagnosed with ADHD. At first, I was a little scared and worried, but now I think it was really the right decision. I will share the process in detail.

Before my first visit to the psychiatrist, I searched for a lot of information on the internet. Reading about adult ADHD and consultation reviews, I steadied my mind and made an appointment. On the day of the appointment, I arrived at the hospital, registered, and waited for a while. The waiting room was decorated in a cozy atmosphere, which helped to ease my tension a bit.

Finally, it was my turn, and I entered the consultation room. The doctor greeted me very kindly and was considerate to ensure I didn't feel uncomfortable. I first talked about the symptoms I am currently experiencing. I mentioned that I have difficulty concentrating, often lose things, and have a habit of procrastinating, which causes difficulties in my daily life.

The doctor listened carefully to my story and then asked several questions. They inquired about various aspects such as my behavior patterns since childhood, school life, and work experiences. Through this process, they explained that my symptoms might not be due to simple stress or other issues, but could be caused by ADHD.

Next, I conducted various questionnaires and tests. These tests helped evaluate my attention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. The questions were relatively simple, but I felt it was important to answer honestly. After analyzing the results, the doctor concluded that I was exhibiting symptoms of adult ADHD.

After diagnosis, we discussed treatment options. The doctor recommended combining medication and behavioral therapy. The medication helps alleviate symptoms by regulating neurotransmitters in the brain, and behavioral therapy assists in overcoming daily life difficulties. The doctor also provided detailed information about the types of medication and potential side effects, which increased my trust.
