Has anyone had experience getting tested and treated for ADHD as an adult? If so who do go to to start the process of being evaluated? I’m struggling with staying on task at work and just an all over the place type of person and interested to see if this is due to ADHD.

Any doctor recommendations in the Charlotte area would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I went to my primary care doctor for the evaluation which was a simple set of questions on a likert scale. Based on my doctor recommendations, I took a week to reflect and document aspects of my childhood, teens, early adulthood and now (I’m 41). After that step, I populated the form the dr gave me. We had a session to review everything and I was diagnosed with ADHD. I go to Dr Allen Shepard (Atrium) who has been the best doctor I’ve ever had.

I went to Dr. Trey Ishee. He can't prescribe meds, but he did pretty thorough testing and I felt heard.

I took his recommendation to my primary care doc and got it fulfilled.

Good luck.

Edit: I went out of pocket to do this, but it was pretty reasonable. Lmk if you have questions.

I talked to my PCP about this last week. He said he couldn’t diagnose me because insurance wants a psychiatrist to do it. He told me that it would be a several month wait to get evaluated in person and told me to go with an internet ADHD service and get evaluated virtually. He recommended to then have the diagnosis sent to him as my PCP to prescribe meds cheaper than the internet services. However since I was told this last week, I haven’t gotten around to it all yet. Curious to hear others

Dr. Jeffrey Ewert, Carolina Neuroservices offers testing and programs for Adult ADHD. This doc is fantastic - knowledgeable, empathetic and very clear in his recommendations. He can suggest meds and has programs to retrain focus and memory.

Sharing some thoughts I’ve had lately:

The end of my suffering occurs with the death of my ego. I am reborn when I surrender to life exactly as it is, right at this moment (and it’s always “this moment”). I can begin to grow when I either accept life as it is, or I change my life because I can’t accept it. The better I become at surrender and acceptance, the more I experience serenity. After a long enough time I realize I’ve had a spiritual awakening. Now I am peace / joy / love.

I’ve doing this for a good number of years. I think I depleted almost completely my interest in this business.

Anyone else experiencing something similar?
