I was diagnosed with ADHD, where I was told I was unsuitable for medication due to issues regarding my weight (2022-2023). I've consistently been in contact with my doctor's since addressing issues with my weight. Only to find recently my diagnosis sheet states that I opted out of medication which was not the case. Since finding this my doctors have been in contact to get approval to start the necessary medication.
They were met with blatant laziness and a severe lack of care with the appalling response from the ADHD service dealing with it stating that I suppose you could start her on some sort of stimulant. This has been an exhausting rollercoaster go get ADHD meds and to be met with this response was extremely defeating and dehumanising as a 'patient' in their care. All of this is not to mention that I was also told -you probably have autism however will require a reassessment..
This assessment never came. I am extremely disappointed and have been majorly let down in regards to care. I've had an extremely difficult time working and finding suitable work. With NO supports from the service concerned. I was given no supports upon diagnosis and simply never heard back again. Truly appalling extremely and I still have no supports nor management for my ADHD.
