Re: ADHD testing
Uh... I was evaluated by a nurse practitioner psychiatrist (as an adult), and it was a matter of basically going through an involved self-exam with some more detailed questions afterward. I also have a diagnosed anxiety disorder along with bipolar, and she pretty much... when I explained how much research I had done, trusted me in that, while asking questions to rule out other possibilities.
There are some docs that have overreacted to the "ADHD is overdiagnosed" thing, when honestly, it is... hm. I'm not going to say that it's not important to get the full story with adults, but they are more capable of judging whether medication is helpful, providing feedback, and working with a psych for treatment, whereas with kids... if they are young enough, they may NOT be able to give adequate feedback, plus there is a huge issue with parents or teachers pressuring to stay on medicine that makes them complaint rather than really helping. As an adult, you have much more control to say "Uh, no, this drug makes me a zombie and WE WILL BE TRYING SOMETHING ELSE" (and finding another doc if the doc doesn't listen).
