A doctor has provided 1 answer
At 41 you can see : your primary care doctor. Take in a list of the symptoms that prompted your mom to make an internet diagnosis & a list of areas of daily living that YOU find difficult- work, peer interaction, behavior, etc. Seek referral to a psychiatrist & a neuropsychologist if you truly have areas of dysfunction. Your doctor can't share your medical information with your mom without your written permission.
