It is almost cruel the extent to which the ADHD evaluation process for adults is structured. There are so many laborious steps and appointments and diagnostic procedures and so on. One is likely, by virtue of the ADHD, already struggling just to get through work and personal obligations already; adding on top an incredibly dull and complex multistep process, coloured as it is by an apparent moral panic about prescribing low grade amphetamines, is really not a fantastic standard of care.

When I asked for the referral (last year) they said I'd never handed the forms in when I checked back in 2017

Terrible process, not being able to run the gauntlet first try should be one of the tests honestly
