I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder; however, as of recently my therapist has opened up my eyes to the fact that i have may been misdiagnosed with that and have adult adhd. how do i go about getting prescribed adhd meds?

Doc to confirm: You need to find a doctor who agrees with the diagnosis after whatever evaluation process they require. Most of the meds used are monitored closely by the Feds from synthesis to consumer use. Docs require a special permit to prescribe them. I consider anyone not found to be ADHD in childhood unlikely to have it as an adult but it can happen. Treatment just requires more paperwork.

SEE PSYCHIATRIST: Well you can have both depression and ADHD they are not exclusionary. You need to see a psychiatrist to help evaluate and diagnose if you have ADHD. The symptoms must be present in childhood even if not diagnosed or treated then.
