Okay, sorry, I made some assumptions that were wrong. I think if your therapist is recommending it, it is definitely worth looking into it further and I hope you can find some treatment that works. Me personally, being on HN, I started to believe I too had ADHD reading peoples' stories on here. After a lot of therapy, and even going for an ADHD evaluation myself (a huge pain in the NHS), I realized it was more a result of burn out and depression. Thankfully, with a lot of therapy (almost a year now), I am slowly regaining my focus, and even improving my ability to deal with boring tasks (which I had convinced myself, based on stories on the internet about adult ADHD, that I could never do). If I had been in the US, I would have self referred to a psychiatrist, gotten an ADHD diagnosis, and been on meds by now. Problem solved? I don't think so, I never would have treated the fundamental psychological issues that actually were causing the problem. But I would have gotten ADHD diagnosed and think there was something wrong with my brain forever. I feel this must happen a lot in the US. Adult ADHD is actually very rare - it is very hard to go unnoticed as a child with ADHD. I would strongly suggest anyone reading HN stories about adult ADHD first to see a psychologist and do talk therapy first. Also, make sure to get a second opinion on a diagnosis like adult ADHD.
