My doc is a new pdoc to me since my old one is retiring. I did look again at my medical records from the old pdoc, looks like my last visit with her & her summation to the new doc says no ADHD/ADD, but there are symptoms that have been present for awhile that make her feel it warrants more investigation.

I did come to her with a mis-diagnosis of depression & I was a month post-partum when I started seeing her. It took her a bit to determine the pdocs I'd seen the last 10 years were wrong (not a shocker since no one re-diagnosed after the 1st doc who just seemed to want to give me a lifetime supply of Paxil), and then she figured maybe I had bipolar II, tried treating that, things weren't working, then I had a psychotic break, hypergraphia, etc., and she had to start again trying to control bipolar I. So I guess she'd felt she finally had the bipolar & panic disorder somewhat stable which made her start wondering about ADHD type things. She was a very good doctor, one of the top pdocs out there, and my new pdoc is very good too. I suppose if she told him she suspected it, he probably started looking for it. There are things that could point to it, I suppose. I need to speak more with my new pdoc about why he included the ADHD diagnosis when the old pdoc did not, what exactly it was that made him diagnose that.
