I am undiagnosed. After a wake-up call from work, I realized I needed to get myself checked. I managed to get myself an appointment with a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for "medication management." for next month. She specializes in ADHD. Since the testing center that accepts my insurance is booked until January. I am not sure what medication management exactly does.

Since I am undiagnosed I am aware that there might be other underlying issues that might masquerade as symptoms of ADHD. However, these symptoms have persisted since I was around 5-6 years of age. I never got diagnosed because of mental health stigma from non-English speaking immigrant parents. I had to switch teachers in first grade because I could not focus and learn productively. In 3rd grade, my teachers had a conference with my parents that I had issues paying attention to class. (I think she suggested I should get tested but I don't remember) and had a whole spiel about "she's got so much potential if she paid more attention." almost every teacher had that discussion with my parents. My parents refused and insisted It was my laziness despite my cousins all getting a formal diagnosis. It affected every facet of my life. I think my mental health is in shambles because of my brain :(
