Anyone have any luck setting up a first appointment in the DC area? It’s next to impossible finding anyone in Virginia/DC/MD who specializes in ADHD and is accepting new patients. I was diagnosed 26 years ago but my primary care physician asked me to get diagnosed again

I do all of my ADHD treatment via Circle Medical. It’s telehealth and is easy to schedule.

Also I would change my PCP if they asked for re-diagnosis. I was diagnosed by a psychologist 20 years ago and have the documentation, I’d be pretty frustrated if my PCP didn’t take my word for it that at the end of the day I have a very similar brain to the one that was tested.

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent.

We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
