FWIW, diagnosing and treating mental illnesses only partially overlaps with therapy. It's also useful for help with emotional/mental/social things in your life you just have trouble with — in your case, setting boundaries. A psychiatrist prescribes medication; a therapist is more of a confidante and a coach. Whether you have ADD or not, there's no shame in employing someone to help you be a better you!
