How Long After Consultation With Psychiatrist For Adult ADD Will The Medication Be Prescribed?

I have adult add and has seen a pshycharist three sessions...they are 45=60 minutes each. I filled out multiple paperwork at home and returned to him. I wonder how long before he prescribes medication. Why so long ? 3-4 weeks in between appointments and this problem is not getting better on its own...what should I expect?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Usually psychiatrists take hardly one session to diagnose ADHD and prescribe it on same session, but protocol of every psychiatrist is different from other. In your case, may be your psychiatrist is not convince with diagnosis or have any another doubt. Better to discuss with him about that.

Thanks
