The comorbidity of anxiety/depression and ADHD can certainly be hard to disambiguate so I’m sorry it took so long to find the right treatment, but it’s also great that you’ve got it now. I do want to point out that a psychiatrist would perform a targeted history of your presentation and mental status exam, and might very well have provided the “correct” diagnosis much sooner—these people do more than prescribe medications on their first hunch. It generally wouldn’t take two years to do a generic review of mental status symptoms. A GP on the other hand might be more pressed with less time to prescribe an SSRI or medication of a related class and put in a referral.
