Easier said than done. The most important prerequisites to getting successful treatment for ADHD are the abilities to:
- Stay focused while shopping for a psychiatrist for a problem that fills you with a sense of despair.
- Make appointments and consistently attend them.
- Clearly and persuasively explain to your loved ones how important it is to you for them to fill in a description of their memories of your childhood symptoms... and hope you weren't inattentive subtype. Spending hours reading history books isn't memorably annoying to parents like hyperactivity.
- Keep an organised record of the impacts of medication as you go through titration.
