What do I do if I'm 16, diagnosed and unmedicated?
- SteveNuts 3y agoSounds like you must already have a psychiatrist or MD you've been diagnosed by? What's the reason for not medicating it? Do you have a guidance counselor your can talk to?
- _chu1 3y agoParents never saw there was an issue. I was mostly "normal" until I started seeing symptoms pop up in the 5th grade. Don't have a guidance counselor but I should probably just ask my dad.
- SteveNuts 3y agoMy parents were against it too, even though my 5th and 6th grade teachers both suggested it. Then in High school my guidance counselors highly recommended I get tested. There was definitely a stigma for mental illness with the boomer generation, I suspect my mom did not want to be associated with a child that has a mental condition.
