    Read my response to this, you gotta keep fighting for yourself. I’m not against therapists bug I think there is something in their training, or maybe something to do with the business of mental health in general, that introduces all these disincentives to treatment for some people. If you take the self assessment and it seems like you have it you gotta fight like hell. I can’t even begin to describe how much better my life is and how much happier I am now that I’ve been treating it for a few years

      Is there a real assessment one can take online that isn’t basically equivalent to a buzzfeed quizz?

        No. There are tests for the types of functional behavior differences that comprise ADHD, but they can’t really be administered outside of a moderately controlled setting.

        Stuff like saying a list of words and seeing how many you can recall in a fixed time can’t really be done reliably in a quiz.
