I had an online ADHD assessment where I was given a diagnosis. I felt that the 50 minute slot that I had was not enough time, I wanted more information on my diagnosis and I felt that there was too much time spent on explain treatment options and not enough time discussing my ADHD itself. I thought that the session would involve a test to determine the diagnosis but it seems that there is no such test. I also assumed that I would be asked more questions and would have more time to explain myself, instead I was interrupted a lot. I felt like the doctor just took my word for it that I have symptoms of ADHD and diagnosed me based on that.
