I had a follow-up appointment with the psych yesterday. Last time I went to the clinic,at the beginning of June I was in the throes of a bad depression, and not able to articulate my concerns about adult ADHD. However a few weeks ago I was able to explain my symptoms to my GP, and she said she's send a fax to the psychiatrist in advance of the next appointment. The clinic was running late yesterday, and when I was seen, it was by a different doctor from last time - the guy I was expecting to see 'had to leave suddenly'. This new doc was very pleasant, talked about my depressions, my experience on meds, asked about issues with my thyroid, and discussed ways of preventing a further lapse into depression in future. But when I raised my ADHD symptoms I got the same wall which I've encountered before (with two previous psychs: one last year and another a couple of years before that). I was feeling pretty tired by the time I saw him anyway (appt was at 4.00, it's a bit of a drive from home, I'd been kept waiting for about 30 mins and I've had an emotional few days) so I really wasn't able to be assertive about ADHD. Thankfully I've been in touch with a specialist recommended on here who can do a private assessment - and we're going to arrange that when he gets back from holiday next month.

Thanks, Lottie. I'm feeling a lot better these days - maybe as a result of a tyrosine supplement, but mainly, I think, because of coming on here and realising I'm not alone in how I feel. I've been doing stuff and seeing people but pacing myself 'cos I get tired very quickly. Good to hear about that things are moving in the right direction for your wee girl Daisy x
