So I kept seeing the memes and identifying with them, until I started asking you questions, which lead to asking how to get diagnosed. And after a visit to the neuro and a questionnaire later, I’ve joined the club. TBH, it lifted a weight off my shoulders.
I will begin treatment as soon as the damned insurance clears the request for medicine. I’m hopeful about the future.

I’m like 90% sure I’m in the same boat but it feels kind of pointless for me to pursue beyond general informational purposes. I’ve made it this far without meds so it seems like starting them now is not necessary. What sort of benefits do you expect to see from starting treatment?
One of us! One of us! One of us!
Welcome, friend
Thank you, friend!
Where are you from? I’ve got mixed messages about whether the questionnaires and stuff are “official,” despite the fact that they’ve given me meds. I assume you haven’t been given a certificate or anything?
I’m Canadian, but I was diagnosed with a 15 minute phone call with my GP. Granted, I have professional training in this area, and had examples prepared to match DSM criteria, but adult diagnosis can be very straightforward.
No certificate. I was diagnosed in the US of A.
I’m in California and they’ve been super vague with me. Anyway I’m happy for you!
