I'm a little confused, I know based on my whole life experiences that I do indeed have ADHD; but I don't know how I should tell my doctor about it? I mean, it's disrespectful and yet probably would think I want drugs or something. A little help? Thanks.

I went to two different GPs because I was too nervous to bring it up to the first. The second one went through the normal questions and wanted to treat my anxiety/depression first, which I agreed to. Bupropion for a month first, now coupled with ritalin. That along with therapy and I feel like a new person.
