For anyone reading his exchange, ignoring, or going against, the opinion of 30+ mental health professionals can also be harmful.In defense of GP, I want to caveat with this: if you go to a random psychiatrist and tell them about your issues, it's quite likely you'll get evaluated for the "usual suspects", such as depression. A proper evaluation (not just initial diagnosis, but matching treatment and noticing effects) can easily take over a year, since medication used in depression treatment usually take a month to kick in, and you might need to go through several before finding one that works for you, if at all - while also dealing with some nasty side effects.
Now, imagine a person with ADHD staring this path. How likely is it they'll go through the process diligently for a year or more, until the doctor figures out something else is going on? What's more likely to happen is, the person will keep taking the meds for a while, then forget to schedule a visit before running out, run out, enter withdrawal, then be unable to schedule a visit, leave withdrawal few weeks later, and feel too ashamed to talk to that doctor again. So in a few months or more, they may go to another psychiatrist...
... who will want to re-examine them for depression just to be sure, starting the cycle anew.
I wasted a decade of my life on exactly this.
Hence my standing recommendation: if you suspect ADHD, find a psychiatrist who's actually specializing in adult ADHD (and not just has it on a list of things they can help you with). ADHD can often be diagnosed or ruled out in days to weeks; going to an ADHD specialist isn't about trying to "get your favored diagnosis" (if you feel worried about this, just be up-front with them) - it's about minimizing the chance they'll dismiss this as an option, as (from copious anecdotal evidence) most other psychiatrists do.
