Hi my parents took me to a psychiatric but did not say anything about adhd. I did not know what the process was, so I didn't ask them for that diagnosis. They did give me anti depressants but I stopped going after 3 sessions cause i didn't feel like it was going anywhere. Do you think i should go back and ask for a diagnosis? I also want to add that i live in a country where mental illness is still not real. So im not surprised the doctor was not communicating with me openly

that sounds hard. i cant give you medical advice - you know yourself better than me anyway. one thing i can comment on is that changes usually take a combination of medication and behavioral changes (aka therapy). so it's not surprising that things didn't improve after 3 sessions. it takes a lot of effort!
