I'll add that the first doctor I went to see about my issues made it clear that he was willing to prescribe me stimulants without a strong diagnosis, which frankly disturbed me greatly.

I had to make it clear I was interested in pursuing a proper diagnosis, and that I wasn't just looking for some help to "cram" for a test or something, which apparently would have been good enough for a prescription.

Getting a proper diagnosis is a royal pain in the ass, but worth it. You shouldn't be screwing around with these drugs for fun.
