Hi all, 

I've been in therapy for a bit but lately my depression has gotten alot worse. They have mentioned that it's caused by my untreated adhd but I haven't the first clue on where to start with getting diagnosed.  Can anyone help me out?

Hi, welcome

 

A psychiatrist specialising in ADHD can diagnose. You'll have to use google.

 

Diagnosis is crucial. I was incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD at 46yo in 2003. For 6 years I tried 12 medication all didnt work. I then got a 2nd opinion and was diagnosed with bipolar, depression, dysthymia and a little anxiety residual after many years of relaxation etc. The mania in bipolar can mirror mania etc in ADHD, hence the importance of correct assessment.

 

Good luck.
