Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Start Taking Medicine For ADHD Leading To Stress?
Many years ago in school I was tested positive for ADHD. In the after years of school I quit taking the medication. I recently have noticed many days of being overwhelmed with work, stress, my sons school etc. Is this something I should look into getting back on medication for?
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. It is always better to get a second opinion on ADHD from a psychiatrist. You should stop the medicine only then. Tapering off the medicine works well. Also you should not take self decisions and diagnosis. Those could backfire. Do consult an expert in this matter. ADHD is just a disorder and not a disease. Disorders can be cured with simple lifestyle changes and change in thinking pattern. Relaxation and psychotherapy should help you.
Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
