Yes, and that makes things more confusing too. I found a specialist who tests adults for dual diagnosis and got diagnosed with both, but then I feel like I’m “doctor shopping” because other professionals don’t agree, yet they haven’t seemed open minded to new information beyond very dated stereotypes apparently.
Yeah don’t kick yourself for that. The dual diagnosis throws off doctors who don’t know to look for it. It’s not something most doctors were aware could even exist until relatively recently. You did the right thing.
