My doctor in the states was willing to do what she called a "clinical diagnosis". After filling out a short questionnaire, my score indicated I may have ADHD. She prescribed a medication for me to try. The idea was if the medication helps, and doesn't make me feel bad, then it would indicate I have ADHD.

It helped. I do. That was it!

It makes so much sense but the UK is too risk averse to do this unfortunately. Multi month waiting lists for us

Unfortunately in India it’s nearly impossible to get a prescription for stimulant medication because of “abuse potential” even if the psychiatrist acknowledges you exhibit ADHD traits.

I am fortunate in that regard. My doctor maintains the inventory needed for his patients purely because it’s almost impossible to get the good stimulants in local pharmacies
