How Were You Diagnosed with ADHD?

Hey everyone,

I’m in year two of trying to get an ADHD diagnosis, but I keep hitting dead ends with doctors. Either they dismiss my concerns, say it’s just anxiety/depression, or don’t take the symptoms seriously because I did well in school. It’s been frustrating, and I feel like I’m running in circles.

For those of you who were diagnosed (especially as adults), what was the process like for you? Did you face pushback? How did you finally find a doctor who listened?

Any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.
