Agreed. I struggle with focus and executive function. It took me years to get actionable diagnoses.
Though my root cause was ultimately physical (pinched nerves in my spine), addressing the mental health aspects is also required. The kinds of stuff addressed in the book The Body Keeps the Score. The skills and knowledge I learned from Swedish Pain Services were the missing puzzle pieces for me.
My life advice to all other patients:
1) You must have a patient advocate. Life coach, fights for you, keeps you accountable.
2) Never accept "no" or "I don't know". Someone, somewhere has the answers you need. Keep digging.
