Hey, Just to let you know: I'm also in Germany and it doesn't need to take a year to get diagnosed. Check your surroundings for neurologists that do ADHD in adults.
Also to your question: it's a spectrum and no hard and fast rules what your brain does. Mine doesn't like caffeine as well, no effects, but with meds, I get massive heart rate and anxiety.
I have checked, and there's really only one that specializes in adult ADHD. Already called them but I have to wait until the waiting list for 2025 opens in december.
I got an immediate appointment through 116 117, that was the worst therapist I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Brushed off ADHD as a "Modediagnose" (not sure how to translate this, negatively connotated trending diagnosis?) and we thankfully never talked about any further appointments
i ended up paying for it. 650 euros. still had to find a therapist though. met a bunch of a holes. its not worth telling what was happening, it was the usual horrorstories.
Sounds like 'modediagnose' could be translated as "fad diagnosis" maybe?
It's a problem with health providers here too.
ADHS ist nichts für einen Therapeuten. Ich bin zu einer Neurologin gegangen. Im Prinzip waren das drei Sitzungen oder so bis zur Diagnose, also braucht man nicht unbedingt groß Termine. Der Test hat mich 75€ gekostet. Danach musst du "nur" noch Medikamente bekommen
Danke für den Hinweis, das war mir gar nicht bewusst!
