Glad to hear that you had improved your life. What were your symptoms? I tried to get treated, but since I was highly functional (smartass) and didn't show hyperactivity during childhood, the Dr believes I only have procrastination problem when I know it isn't just that (I have terrible attention since reaching adulthood). He gave me another appointment (which I consider not going), because I don't see any point convincing people who had never experienced this kind of problem.

Find the right doctor that will listen to you. I went to a psychologist, GPs might be a bit harder. Hyperactivity, impulsively, attention issues. You might not have clearly shown symptoms from a mile away but you probably had them if you looked long enough. Since getting treatment, I've improved my life beyond what I thought was possible. I'm two quarters away from finishing my masters with a 3.7.

I'll try to find another opinion from another psychologist. Thanks for the advice. Btw good luck on your masters!
