At the request of my counsellor I was recommended to seek an assessment for ADHD, which I was less than enthusiastic about, in order to deal with the fact that I suffer from highly elevated levels of anxiety. My main concern was that should I be diagnosed, I would have to declare this condition on future job applications and this condition would be, at best looked upon as something less than desirable. This in turn could result in me experiencing difficulties in future employment. This concern combined with the fact that I have worked very hard to hide my hyperactivity through a long and complicated set of compensating strategies that I have developed over the past 40 years, resulted in the understandable feeling that a positive diagnosis would be a problem for me. It is therefore a very strange situation for me, in which I have ADHD, but now can work in a more positive and constructive way to tackle the issues that result from this condition. I would wholly recommend this assessment as a positive step in dealing with ADHD, and although not cheap the cost of the consultation should, I think be considered as more of an investment in your individual future. I found Dr Montgomery to be both knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with clients who present with this condition, and displaying the necessary credibility to pass judgement on individuals with this condition. My only regret is not dealing with this situation, and getting a diagnosis sooner.
