I commonly read youtube comments that state a drug like Strattera completely changed their adhd for the better.

Whilst I havnt tried this(yet) I wondered what other options exist?

I sent my referral to the psychiatrist office and mostly forgot. Then I was talking to someone about looking at getting a diagnosis and went, "actually I sent a referral a couple months ago. I wonder what happened with that. I should probably follow that up",narrator: He didn't.

They called me though a couple weeks after that. But my thought on the subject was, maybe that's the first part of the diagnosis process. If you can remember you have started organising it, you're off to a bad start.
