Yes, the process was extremely valuable for me since I didn't know what was "wrong" but knew there was something. I looked up a psychiatrist experienced with diagnosis who recommended a professional IQ exam. There are very clear statistically significant differences associated with ADHD, which helped me accept "adhd" as a real thing. That part alone was worth it and the evidence was pretty undeniable. I went back for a PhD program and got a diagnosis from the health services there, along with some CBT therapy. I'd recommend going to a psychiatrist/ therapist with a good track record of diagnosing and treating adhd. Many doctors, even psychiatrists, are dangerously under-versed in adhd or even believe its fake. haha and I feel the bit about cognitive loading.
