Hi,
I was recently scrolling on LinkedIn to come across a post where a professional was detailing tasks at work she struggled with (procrastination on tasks, deliberating unnecessarily etc) and how it was part of her diagnosis of ADHD and how she overcame those.
It was the first time I'd read those same issues I struggle with every day and linked it to ADHD. I've always known I've had extreme anxiety (including social) for most of my life, that I struggle to handle stress and pressure in all areas of life, mood swings where I become totally uncommunicative to people at home. As a "man of the house" I know jack about maintaining it or arranging/organising work people to resolve those problems. So I just think **** it, it will blow up in my face eventually.
I've undertaken an adult ADHD screener on ADHD.uk, where the results suggested to seek clinical help but if I was to, what support is given? I'd experienced NHS CBT when I had one session to discuss my mental health but I fear they won't have the cultural/religious understanding to really help. IDK if they give medication?
Firstly, do is it more likely I have ADHD (please do no hesitate to ask any further questions) and secondly what is the NHS process after you speak to a GP and complete, what I gather, is an assessment?
Thank you
