You said you got diagnosed on advice from your Dad, what exactly should somebody look for before they go to a doctor and get diagnosed? Are there any sure signs? How does somebody know that they're not just lazy or have a short-attention span.
- mcantor 15y agoMy dad's advice was the last grain of rice. Getting diagnosed was the result of a long period of slowly accruing more information about the disorder. If you suspect you might have it, it's worth going to see a psychiatrist or psychologist; if you don't really have that kind of time or cash, then buy or borrow "Driven to Distraction", which has a section devoted to figuring out whether you have it. Even if you don't, reading the book will probably still give you some insight into your own personal habits!
