Great interview! That bit about untreated ADHD making us more susceptible to dementia I had never heard. That's unsettling.

I’m confused when she says psychologists can’t diagnose. My doctor made the referral for testing and sent me to a neuropsychologist but unfortunately the person wasn’t taking new patients. So not all doctors are able to diagnose. So who is supposed to be equipped to do so for adults?

For me it is really complicated. I had absence epilepsy from the age of 2 to the age of 11-12. Now it is possible that I would have developed a lot of these symptoms without the epilepsy but Ican't differenciate the symptoms from medical side effects and I feel like my whole self only started developping after getting freed of my epilepsy and the medication. But that was after the age of 12. After that I had everything on that list, now I don't know what to tell the doctor's

Only a psychiatrist can prescribe ADHD medication. My nurse practitioner said he/she could not.

Everyone has a level of ADHD. Some are bad enough to need medication. Over 25% of people in prison have a serious problem.

That's like saying everyone has a wee bit of schizophrenia because they feel depression sometimes.
