Ask to see a psychiatrist. A proper diagnosis will require a history going back to childhood.
I'm 33, I was diagnosed about a year ago. It's made a positive difference on my life.

- throwaway9387 12y agoI'm 32. I've spent at least two decades depressed at my inability to get things done. Earlier this summer, I tried to talk to my psychiatrist about my inability to reign my focus, and how that was severely impacting my life and my ability to accomplish my goals. Her responses both times were dismissive, that "No one likes doing boring things." Obviously... but the things I'd mentioned weren't boring to me. I had no idea how to help her understand. Do you have any suggestions for talking to a psychiatrist?
- jacques_chester 12y agoI think you should see a different psychiatrist.
