Does anyone here suffer from/have knowledge of rejection sensitive dysphoria? I've been referred to an adult mental health team to try and get an ADD diagnosis, but the symptoms I identify as possibly being RSD are the most troubling, and what has been *treated* (no antidepressants have worked) as depression is really holding up my life. If I was JUST waiting on an ADD diagnosis it wouldn't be AS bad, but I have such a fear of failure that I'm barely existing, constantly low and suicidal. And I was wondering if anyone that's actually been diagnosed with it, went directly to a doctor about it or whether you had to wait for your ADD diagnosis first?

Hi mistygish, I see from the American magazine "Additude" that RSD and ADHD are linked and that symptoms can be treated simultaneously. It might be a good idea to print out the article ( link here) and take it with you to your appointments.
