Well, I'm off this morning for my ADD evaluation. I'm feeling anxious -- anxious that the dr. will tell me I have ADD and anxious that he will tell me I do not have ADD. Also, I read online that lengthy evals like mine will be (3 hrs) typically include IQ testing. I've no idea what my IQ is and I'm not sure I want to know.
After that I'm off to an appointment with my C. Today it's all about me.
Thanks to all for your thoughtful posts.
Good luck, as in an accurate diagnosis and treatment that makes a real impact in your life.
The only evaluation I got was the doctor listening to my personal history and saying that I definitely had it. Either he's not as thorough as he should be or I've got an unambiguous and severe case.
a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
