Her argument is that Schizophrenia is the only possible explanation for my present decline (as opposed to ADHD, which my mom and two brothers have, and which would be the far more logical answer). She was far more interested in my anxiety/depression symptoms, which is the general trend I find.
My GP's referred me to a neurodevelopmental psych, who he said should have no qualms in diagnosing ADHD.
As for stims, I've only experimented with them a couple of times and found they helped. My GP has said that since my anxiety/OCD symptoms are so prominent, I should probably get those under control first, which I'm okay with.
