hi i live in the uk and my doctor thinks i may have the limbic type off ADD, which seems to make alot of sense, but she is in no position to make a diagnosis herself so i am being referd to a psychiatrist, however she said there is a debate going on wether adults can have attention deficit disorder, so im worried there is no hope for me, my last psychiatrist treated me with neuroleptics for so called negative symptoms without actually diagnosing me as she wasnt sure what was wrong, and previously i was treated for anxiety and depression for many years by my doctor, i tried every ssri, a few tca's, nardil, snri's with the only improvments coming from the stimulating effects of prozac which made a huge difference before it seemed to lose this effect, ive been on it many times with always the same responce untill i seemed to become imune to it, prozac is a cns stimulant that only adhd meds share, my question is would there be any hope for me to recieve an official diagnosis and get apropiate treatment, i dont know if its true but i heard that in europe ppl feel ADD without hyperactivity does not exist
