One... Two... Three! (of a Series of Sessions of my Adult ADHD Assessment)

Today I have an appointment at the ADHD clinic - my third session of my Adult ADHD assessment. It will be a meeting with a psychiatrist and I believe with a psychometrist. I don't have details of the agenda, but I expect they will be drilling down a bit more on a possible diagnosis (to sort out comorbidities, and to clarify diagnostic subtypes), all towards a goal of presenting a treatment plan.

Or they may simply pronounce me irretrievably mad, and suggest I be locked away in a nice room with soft walls. Irretrievably mad - although not an official DSM-IV diagnosis - is sometimes an appropriate label for how I think of myself, at least in darker times.

But I am certain they will be kinder with me than I have been with me. They have all been nice up until now, anyhow.

I figure if the treatment plan includes medication, there will need to be a few meetings to follow to review the dosage, type and regime.

Hope everyone is having a fine day. I'm guessing I will be worn out by the end of the day, so will follow up shortly with details.

Cheers,

Mungo
