Yeah, my mum's friend who was diagnosed with adhd suggested my current psych, because the one my doctor referred me to was I think in the Northern suburbs and he was fully booked out.

It is crazy how tough it is get a diagnosis as an adult.

I only even got anywhere within 12 months because my GP used a general referral rather than one specifically for ADHD. Psych straight up said if it had been an ADHD referral they would've not taken it on... And i think that's why my GP did exactly that. Seems a bit effed up.
